Pro Tools Audio folders

[Bastiaan]

Here's a way to "untangle" them:

Make a seperate folder for each session. Open each session and do a "save session copy in...". Make sure you check the boxes for the audio-file to be copied too.
After you checked each newly created session, you can trash the old bunch.

Again: test first, trash the files, test again, empty trash...!

"Use save session copy in and then trash the original".......
What a strange advice to give (specially to a newbie)...anyway...

Follow Bassmac's advice and let PT do its job. As long as you name your session and your session's tracks properly(->the track's names will determine your audio files names), you'll be OK. Welcome to PT.

I hope no-one takes offence to this really simple question, but I'm a ProTools newbie..

I have several different PT sessions on my hardisk, they have different track title / folder names etc. And inside there are the Audio folders with their respective audio files inside .

Is it normal to have several folders called "audio-files" ? Would this confuse the file heirarchy on my Mac? Or should I rename these folders to different names?

thanks for the help

Renaming files or folders in the Mac finder will make ProTools unable to automatically locate them at start-up. As long you have a separate folder for each session that includes all your audio files, fades, etc. inside of it, you're in good shape.

It is a bad sytem that works well.
