Hey all!

I'm a brand new user of Cool Edit Pro, but long time producer and first time to the forum.

I'm stumped already!! After finishing a session and clicking on "Save session as..", I check the box that says "save copies of all associated files" and it saves just fine. However, is there a way to set it up so the original associated waves are deleted? In other words, I don't want two copies of each wave files on my hard drive.

Any of you familiar with the old Session 8 know that there is a "Move files to.." feature and this is sort of what I'm looking for. Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by deleting the 'original associated waves'....Are you trying to remove the waves from the session-permanently? You can right-click on the waveblock in question, then select Remove waveblock, then Re-Save (not save as). Of course, you'll still have to physically delete the wav file itself from the folder that it's in (either with windows explorer, or from the desktop, etc.) But either way, once it's remove from the session and you re-save, it will no longer be associated.

AND, if you're creating a new file in a session (say, a vocal take) and you don't like it, you can right-click and select 'Destroy Wave' which will remove from the session without saving.
