- Cleaning up a Session - - placeholder text: needs editing and references to menu items - - - - Cleanup looks for audio files that were recorded by ardour for this - session, but are no longer in use. "In use" means "present in any - playlist in any snapshot of the session". If you have unused playlists - (e.g. alternate takes) cleanup will volunteer to delete them for you. - then it will search all snapshots (including the one you are working - with), and move all unused captured audio files into the "dead_sounds" - directory within the session. At this point, you could still potentially - get material that was "cleaned up" back, though its quite tricky to do. - - - - It is advisable, even firmly recommended that after - this cleanup step, you save the session, exit ardour and restart. This - will enable you to confirm that the session still works as expected. If - all goes well (and it should), you can then do the 2nd phase cleanup, - which will remove the files from the dead_sounds - directory (at which point, the material is not recoverable without - backups on your part). - - - - Note that the presence of snapshots can cause user confusion, as in "why - didn’t cleanup do anything?" The answer is frequently that there are - all capture audio files are in use in this snapshot or in others. - - -
