Copying Audio Files

The Audio File > Copy/Convert File(s) function copies files to a different location on your

hard disk (or other storage medium). When you copy a file, you can enter a new name

in the file selector box (similar to the Save A Copy As command).

Logic checks if there’s enough space to copy the selected file(s) to the target location. If

a file of the same name exists at the target, Logic asks whether or not you want to

replace it. Logic also provides the opportunity to replace the audio file used in the song

with the file that you just copied.

Moving Audio Files

The Audio File > Move File(s) function enables you to move audio files on your hard disk.

Unlike the copy function, the source file disappears after the operation.

If the source drive/partition is the same as the target drive/partition, the files are simply

moved to the other folder. This is a very quick and convenient way of organizing the

drive and the song.

Example

Choose “Select Used” from the Edit menu of the Audio window (this refers to the files

being used in the Arrange window), and move them to a new folder. This folder will

only contain the audio files used by this song.

Be very careful when using this function. A different song may use the same audio files.

The next time you start the other song, you will need to locate the files that you have

moved.

Logic updates the path information for all open songs that use a given audio file. This

makes it easier to move (and reopen) audio files. Following the move of files to the new

location, save all open songs to transfer/update all storage reference(s).

File Conversion and Exchange

Audio File Format Conversion

You can define the format of the destination file when you copy files using the Audio

File > Copy/Convert Files(s) function.

All selected audio files can be copied into any of the following formats:

• …Original File Type: The original format is used.

• …SDII File: The copies are in the Sound Designer II format.

• …AIFF File: The copies are in the Audio Interchange File Format.

• …Wave File: The copies are in the “.WAV” format.
