430 Chapter 12 Project Manager

• If just keeping order on your hard disk, select Leave for any EXS samples and sampler

instruments that are not specific to the song (drums, strings, bass, and so on …).

When song-specific samples are being utilized, all of the EXS24 data (Sampler

instruments and samples) should be copied into the dedicated folder.

• Whether to copy or move the Quicktime movie depends on your video data

structure, and whether or not the CD-ROM has the capacity for all audio and video

data.

• For the Unused Audio, there are different options available. Unused Audio indicates

audio files present in the song’s Audio window, which are not used as regions in the

Arrange window. In practise, this might be vocal takes that weren’t used in your

arrangement, but that are still present in the Audio window. The Unused Audio

parameter determines how these files are handled. If you choose Like Used, they are

handled like the used audio files, and will appear in the same folder. If you select

Separate, a dedicated sub-folder for the unused audio files will automatically be

created. This allows the unused files to be easily identified, which is convenient when

deciding on which files should be moved to the Trash. Choosing Separate for the

Unused files is a good option when you’re unsure of whether or not these files may

be used later. The other plus is that Logic won’t ask for missing files when the song is

reopened—even if the files are not used in the arrangement. Consolidated song files

“know” where these files are saved. If you select Leave, the files will be left where

they are, which makes it easy to delete the old version of the song, along with all

unused files.

• Include songs sharing files with this song is a smart function that automatically collects

and collates all related song versions into a single dedicated project folder, along

with all other versions that share the same audio data. You may want to uncheck this

option in cases where an audio file is used in a variety of totally different song

projects. The function is only relevant to audio files in the Audio window, not to the

sample files used by the EXS24.

• Delete empty folders after moving: In cases where you decide to Move files, you might

whish to automatically delete remaining empty folders. You should keep this smart

function checked, as long as you don’t intend to “refill” these original folders.

• Set Song’s audio recording path: If you’re not yet finished with all recording sessions

for a song, it’s a good idea to allow the Consolidate function to set the song’s audio

record path for you. Future recordings will automatically be placed in the right folder

structure, if you keep this option checked.

Execute the Consolidate process by pressing OK (or Enter). A small progress window is

shown at the top left of the screen. Check the new structure after consolidation to see

how the files have been organized.
