Saving a Session
You should save regularly while working on your
session to ensure that your work is preserved on
your hard drive.
Saving the Session File
The Save command saves the changes you have
made to your session and writes them over the pre-
viously saved version of the session file. The
Save
command cannot be undone.
To save a session:
 Choose File > Save.
Reverting to a Previously Saved
Session File
If you have made changes to a session since you
last saved it, you can discard those changes and re-
vert to its previously saved state.
To revert to the last saved version of a session:
 Choose File > Revert to Saved.
Saving the Session File with a
New Name
To save a copy of the current session with a new
name or to a different hard drive location, use the
Save As command. The Save As command closes
the current session and lets you keep working on
the renamed copy. This is useful if you are experi-
menting and want to save successive versions of
the session.
By working this way, you can quickly retrace your
steps if you want to go back to an earlier version of
your session. The
Save As command saves a new
version of the session file only, and does not dupli-
cate versions of the audio or fade files.
To save a session with a new name:
1 Choose File > Save As.
2 Type a new name for your session.
3 Click Save.
The renamed session file is saved in the session
folder along with the original session (unless you
specify a different destination). Any new audio
files that you record in your renamed session will
be placed into the same Audio Files folder that was
created for your original session.
If you have enabled the Operation preference
for Auto Backup, you can also open up a
backup copy of your session. This feature lets
you specify the total number of incremental
backups that are kept and how often the ses-
sion is saved. See “Auto Backup Section” on
page 129.
Reverting to a previously saved session file
can also be used to open a session with all of
its plug-ins active, after opening it with all of
its plug-ins inactive. See “Opening a Session
with Plug-Ins Deactivated” on page 174.
