Been with MB for a number of years now (since version 5) and have never figured this out. MB (version 9 now) keeps a log of everything that’s recorded. Even if you undo or delete a region, or implement the Clean-up Unused Regions/Flush Wastebasket function it still remains as a source file in the editor list, and an interchange file and a peak file in the project folder. This quickly adds to the project’s size. Perhaps I’m not seeing something or not understanding something that is plain to others, but is there a way to keep this from happening or is there a way to easily delete every take/region/file that you’re not actually using in a project? Essentially I’d like to save the project I’m working on (‘save as’) without having all the baggage of a thousand takes being brought along into the new version (Pro Tools I believe has a easy procedure for this). I realize that many people like to keep every single thing that was recorded in a project but I’m asking as someone who doesn’t care about keeping old takes archived. Thanks!
