Undo Consolidation question.

[f_zeus]

Hi all,
Reading ProTools Reference Guide I've found a very interesting feature.
It's called CONSOLIDATE (page 524 of the PDF file).
It's really useful.
I have a question about its use.
Is there a way to undo consolidation?

Just suppose i want to come back to the trimmed (pre consolidated) track.
How can i do this ?

Should i create a new playlist to keep not consolidated version and consolidated version ??

Thanks in advance

The induvidual sections of the unconsolidated track will still exist in the audio files folder, as consolidation creates a new audio file entirely.

You could always manually seperate portions of the track again if required.

However what your's saying about playlists is what I do. My 'top' playlist is pretty much always a consolidation of bits and pieces of other playlists/recordings. The management of playlists is one of the cool things about protools in my opinion.
