name in the folder name field and click the
Rename Folder button.
Delete All Data Files
It is important to note that deleting an instance
of Auto-Tune 7 (after bouncing or freezing a
processed track) will not automatically delete
any associated data files. Similarly, deleting an
entire session (after archiving it, for example)
will not delete any data files associated with
instances of Auto-Tune 7 in the session.
As a result, if you take no action, data files that
are no longer necessary will build up on your
computer, needlessly taking up disk space.
You can, of course, delete such files manually,
but doing so always carries the risk of
accidentally deleting the wrong files (especially
if you haven’t clearly renamed them as
recommended above).
A better practice is to get into the habit of using
the Delete All Data Files function as the last
thing you do before deleting an instance of
Auto-Tune 7 or deleting an entire session (in
which case you should use it in each instance
of Auto-Tune 7 in the session).
Simply click the Delete All Data Files button,
confirm that you’re sure, and you’re done.
When you have finished all your Data
Management tasks, click “Close” to dismiss
the dialog and immediately save your session.
(If you close your session without saving, your
changes will not be retained the next time you
open the session.)
If There’s a Problem
As mentioned above, if Auto-Tune 7 is unable
to find previously recorded audio data at the
location it expects, the Data File Management
button will flash red to alert you to this problem.
If this happens, click the button and you will
see something like this:
As you will note, the dialog includes the
location at which it expected to find the data
folder, along with the name of the folder it
expected to find there.
Find Data Folder…
Assuming that the folder hasn’t been deleted
(presumably accidentally), you will be dealing
with one of the following situations:
•
The folder was moved to a new location,
either manually or by the “Move Data
Files...” function used from another copy of
the session that pointed to the same folder.
•
The folder was renamed, again either
manually or by the “Rename Data Folder”
function used from a copy of the session that
pointed to the same folder.
•
A combination of the above two, i.e., the
folder was both moved and renamed.
In any of these cases, the solution is to point
Auto-Tune 7 at the correct folder, wherever it is
and whatever it’s currently named. To do that:
•
Click the Find Data Folder… button. A
navigation window will appear.
•
Navigate to the correct data folder and click
Choose. An alert message will confirm that
you have selected the correct folder (or tell
you if the selected folder is not the correct
folder).
•
The correct folder location and folder name
will now be displayed in the Data File
Management dialog and all should be well.
