466 FILE MENU
If multiple virtual projects refer to the same wave files, all of these projects should be open
as well. This is the only way to monitor and prevent data loss.
Using the "Remove unused samples" function saves storage space, but corrections to the
objects' lengths are limited, since all audio data outside the object borders are removed.
For this reason, specify backup reserves with "Save additional samples for each object".
This number of samples is left in front and behind the object borders in the audio material.
The default value is 22,050 samples, which corresponds to 500 ms at a 44,100 kHz
sample rate.
The dialog lists all of the wave projects used in the virtual project. You can see the total
memory space used by the wave projects in the "Size" column here, and beside this the
free space in the "Unused" column. In the "Edit" column, you'll find a check box for each
file that may be used to add files to the process. Only those files that contain unused
sections of audio data are selected. To keep these, remove the check.
Note: The list may also contain files not actually referenced by the VIP, but referenced by
the VIP's undo chain. These files are 100% unused samples and will be deleted completely
when checked.
For example, if you have discarded an entire recording session, you can delete the unused
files as well. However, if you had opened audio material from other sessions or your private
sample library and didn't use them any more after that, you should uncheck these files so
that they don't get deleted.
We recommend deleting the "Undo" chain and closing all unused wave projects before
using the function.
Tip: If the relevant audio files are required later on for additional production work, the
following procedure is recommended for archiving the finished production:
Save your entire project in a new folder ("File -> Save complete VIP in..."). In the save
dialog, select the command "Copy only samples used in VIP". Now only those audio
files/samples that are actually required by your archiving project will be found in the few
folder. You can now save the content of this folder to a backup medium (e.g. CD-ROM or
DVD).
Delete Freeze Data
Use this function to delete unused data that was created when freezing but is no longer
needed after "unfreezing".
