Default Is it possible to collect all audio files without making a session copy?

I have a session where the audio files are scattered all over the place and was wondering if it's possible to collect them all and put them in the audio folder of the session folder without making a copy of the session with all audio.

Probably the easiest and most accurate method is to do a "Save Copy In".

I know it doesn't meet your requirement for no new session... But, that's my guess for the easiest way to put all the audio files in one folder. YMMV

I agree with YMMV. For your next project go to Prefs > Processing and tick 'Automatically copy files on import'.

Cheers,

To reference audio files is a disaster waiting to happen.

if there on separate drives you could set them to Transfer then open the session

otherwise Save Session In is your friend

Not if you click on the bar that say "pathname" at the top of the projet window, it will sort files by there pathname, then you can select all the files that are not in the main folder and thon copy and relink.

Default Re: Is it possible to collect all audio files without making a session copy?

Was just wondering if you can do this and have ONLY the audio files in use collected... I have a session that has gotten too large with all the extra takes and unused audio files, and would love to just get a copy of the final session that includes only the used audio files.
