[. . . ] This results in orphaned files (and regions) in the Audio Bin and Arrange area regions which refer to the missing audio file (see "Finding and Replacing Orphaned Audio Files" on page 539). Important: For these reasons, you should only perform audio file deletions in the Audio Bin. To delete audio files in the Audio Bin: 1 Select the audio files that you want to delete. 2 Choose Audio File > Delete File(s) or (or use the corresponding key command, default: Control-Backspace). An alert message, informing you of the number of audio files about to be deleted, will appear. 3 Click Cancel to abandon the deletion process, or click Delete to move the audio files into the Trash. 536 Chapter 24 Managing Audio Files Optimizing Audio Files Beyond deleting unused audio files, Logic Pro also allows you to delete unused portions of audio files. To delete sections of audio files that are no longer used in the project: 1 Select the audio files that you want to optimize in the Audio Bin. 2 Choose Audio File > Optimize Files (or use the corresponding key command, default: Control-O) in the Audio Bin. The following happens during the Optimize Files function: Â Logic Pro determines which (file) segments are not contained in any of the regions used in the Arrange area. Â These segments are deleted, and the remaining portions of the audio file (those used by regions) are retained. Note: For safety reasons, the Optimize Files function uses a pre and post roll area of one second of audio data before and after each (used) region. Warning: As this process physically deletes data from the storage medium, it cannot be undone. Saving Regions as Individual Audio Files You can create one (or more) independent audio files from selected regions in the Audio Bin and Arrange area. To convert selected regions into independent audio files: 1 Do one of the following: Â Choose Audio File > Save Region(s) As in the Audio Bin. Â Choose Audio > Convert Regions to New Audio Files in the Arrange area (or use the corresponding key command, default: Option-Command-F). Â Choose File > Export Region as Audio File in the main menu bar (or use the corresponding key command). You may also create a new folder, by clicking the New Folder button. Chapter 24 Managing Audio Files 537 4 If you're only saving one region, you can enter a name for the new audio file. The Hide Extension checkbox hides or shows file extensions (wav, aif, and so on) in the Save As field. Note: If you want to simultaneously save several regions as audio files, you should name the regions before using the Save Region(s) as command, as existing region names are applied to the audio files derived from them. Exporting Tracks as Audio Files It is also possible to export one or more tracks (all audio regions on tracks) to a new audio file, or several audio files--one for each Arrange track. To export all audio regions on a track to a new audio file: 1 Click on the desired track name. 2 Choose File > Export > Track as Audio File from the main menu bar (or use the corresponding key command, default: Command-E). 3 Provide a name and destination, and make other choices in the Save As dialog, then click Save. To export all tracks to several new audio files: 1 Choose File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files (or use the corresponding key command).
