Re: Save Copy In NOT deleting unused files!
When I have a session with a lot of unused takes I go to the region list and hit (shift+Apple+u) PT selects all unused files - now I hit (Shift + Apple+B) Clear and select "Remove" (This will not kill the audio on the hard drive but only remove from session) from the dialog while holding option pressed to dismiss further dialogs..
Now I go to save copy in/as.... and choose to copy the audio files.... Now I CLOSE the session from which I saved the copy and open the copy.....which is NOT lying in the default session folder... If I go to "Audio Files" in that session it will only have the Audio Files contained in the session... I dont know if you are doing exactly what I am doing but I dont have any problems what so ever...

Re: Save Copy In NOT deleting unused files!
I think it's safe to say that this bug is not related to the "Save Session Copy In..." but rather the "Remove Unused Audio" feature. Agreed?

Re: Save Copy In NOT deleting unused files!
Thanks for the post. Okay, I've got 16 tracks 1.5hrs. in length. The folder is 5gig. I only need 2 songs out of the whole thing. They are around 45 min in. So I high light everything in front & everything after. Then I delete them from the arrange window. Now I go to the regions list & choose select unused. Then I clear unused & remove(not delete).
Then I do a save copy in to a new folder. Then I open that copy. Everthing looks fine but, I can drag everthing to the left & to the right of the 2 songs I only need. That audio should be gone. The copyed folder is still 5gig instead of the 500meg or so it should be. This is the problem. |

1) when you "select unused audio", do you see items being selected in the regions list? 2) when you "remove unused audio", do you see those items removed from the regions list? 3) most importantly, are the audio regions you are deleting from the arrangement part of the same audio files as the parts you are leaving in (or are they separate audio files)? 4) when you say "I can drag everthing to the left", do you mean using the Trim tool?

Yes 2) when you "remove unused audio", do you see those items removed from the regions list? Yes 3) most importantly, are the audio regions you are deleting from the arrangement part of the same audio files as the parts you are leaving in (or are they separate audio files)? The same. Not Seperate. 4) when you say "I can drag everthing to the left", do you mean using the Trim tool? With the trim tool. It should be gone. Should'nt let me drag the edges at all. |

Re: Save Copy In NOT deleting unused files!
If I understand corectly, you have a 1,5 hr continuous recording and need only a bit in the middle? In that case, you should create a new audio file by consolidating (only) the bit you want to keep. Then you can get rid of the original audio file and regions.
