editing a multi song session regions to individual sessions

[Fritz]

I have all the regions in each songs session disk allo folder.
But every session has the full length of the source regions.
Is there a way to hack off (and delete) "excess regions" so that I'm using less space?
I have all the source material saved in the master.

In other words, every session has 130MB regions, when each song needs perhaps 25MB of each region.

The sessions themselves just show me the parts of the regions I need, but I'd like to trim the rest.

Man I hope that makes sense .......

There are a few ways to do this(like most everything else in the digital world) Here's one way:
Enable the ALL group. Go into GRID mode. Find dead air between songs and hit B to Separate Clips(Regions on older PT). Highlight the clips for a song. Open the Clips bin(on the right) and Export Clips as Files. Retain the session settings for sample rate/Bit Depth and send them to a folder(before starting, make a folder for each single song). Leave the first song in place. Once you have exported the rest of the songs, delete all but the first song and re-save as that song title(or treat it just like the others and leave the original session complete).

Once you have a folder of audio for each song, create new blank sessions for each, use the Import Audio command to select and import all audio for each song/session.(since you know the tempos, set each session to the proper tempo before you import audio)

There are other methods, but this gives you the kind of instruction to figure out what you need to do, and you may discover something that works better for you
