[el biciclista]

vze,
Do I understand you correctly that:

(1) When I (a) copy and paste, or (b) consolidate regions, I am NOT creating new independent sound files (even though the resulting regions have new names).

(2) The only way to make the regions independent (i.e., not linked to other regions) is to Bounce to Disk.

(3) Once I Bounce to Disk, I can be confident the region is now independent of other regions, and I can Clear Unused Regions w/o a problem?

This is a bit of a pain, since I edit and consolidate most regions during editing, so I will have to Bounce to Disk most of my regions after editing. However, if this is the only way I can clean up my session after editing, then so be it. It is better than leaving all the "garbage" in the session.

Thanks!
Mike
