consolidating tracks into a single file
Or better question .. how to "un-consolidate a track into it's original form before it was consolidated.
So I create a consolidated file out of many segments on a track, and then a couple days and several other edits later, realize I made a mistake. Is there any way to revert back to the condition of a track with in it's editing and patched-up configuration before it was consolidated? If I "clear" the consolidated track there is nothing on the track. If I look in the clips window there are billions of clips with that track number, most of which were not included in the consolidation and a nightmare to try to reconfigure. Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious? Media Man |

Hi ! I think you can't undo that unless the consolidation was did recently so you can simply use the undo command te revert. Maybe checking the in sessions backup folder an older session with the unconsolidated track ?

Re: consolidating tracks into a single file
That's what I thought.
It would be a nice feature to be able to "revert" any consolidated track or shorter file to it's original source regions. I can remember many instances I wish I could do that. Or somehow in the clips list, have an option to see what parts the whole was made of. Thanks, Media Man |

Re: consolidating tracks into a single file
Unless you need the audio as a single file to use outside of PT, why don’t you region group the audio on the timeline instead.
It will appear as a single block on the timeline and all the fades etc. will be hidden and active. You can still use clip gain etc. Might be a better solution for you as you can ungroup the region at any point and redo an edit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Duplicate track to a new playlist, and then consolidate. To go back, just bring back previous playlist.

Playlist *everything*! I playlist every step of the way when editing/pitching/timing/denoising - that way there's always a trail of breadcrumbs if you need to get back to a previous state. Also, what about saved session backups prior to the consolidate? You can just import the pre-consolidated track.
