Creating an independent new session

[pugman84]

I record my band's songs continously in one session. I find it easier because my computer is located upstairs (we play in my basement) and I would rather not run up and down stairs to create new sessions everytime we play a new song. After we finish recording, I would like to create an independent session for every song where I do not have to relink audio at all. I just want a solid, separate session (no link to the original session). What is the best way of going about this?

Assuming that when you say "no link to the original session" you man that you want each new session to have it's own audio files (and not reference the originals). The easiest way to do this is like this:

Before you do any editing...

• Save a copy of your session for each song by using "Save Session Copy In" (don't copy audio files)
• Open each new copy and
• Edit regions so only the audio from the song you want is on the timeline
• Hilight all the tracks and audio
• Open the "Duplicate" plug-in from the AudioSuite menu
• Choose "Create Individual Files"
• Duplicate the regions
• Now "Select Unused" regions
• Clear selected
• Save session

And now you're done!
