OPENSONG STORAGE LOCATION MANUAL
Please view the Studio One Reference manual for more information on using Templates.Ĭhoosing "Revert" will revert the open song back to the last save, erasing all changes.Import Opensong Lyrics (v5.1 only) Method 1 – If Opensong is installed on the same PC as Easyslides 5 It could make the difference between a 2-3 gb song folder or a 12-15 gb song folder.Ĭhoosing "Save as Template" is great for creating your own pre-configured tracking environment for your song. If a user for example performes multiple takes of audio recordings there could easily be many gigabytes of unnecessary audio files on inactive track layers and if they're on the timeline, playing or not, they are "used files". Note: To fully minimize the size of a song folder you should also expand and delete all media on inactive track layers in the copy unless you want to keep those as well. If you worked on a song for months and are certain that everything that the final mix version of the song is referencing and playing is everything you'll ever need for it, you can Save to New Folder to minimize it and delete the other song folder. This can be much the same for local archives. In the case of cloud sharing, you would optionally use Save to New Folder to save it directly to a new folder on Dropbox or other cloud service. This would be perhaps instead of copying the song folder which may include many gigabytes of audio files that you perhaps do want to personally keep but are not currently being referenced by the song, and that might be prohibitive and/or unnecessary to include in a shared song folder.

If you use Save to New Folder the new folder size is minimized, only including the files actually being used by the song. You may want to do that if sharing a song folder with another user.

There are cases where you may or may not want to do that. This function saves the necessary parts of a song to a new folder effectively minimizing the size of that new song folder. This option defaults to the same folder as the song that is currently open. Be sure to rename the file something different when you choose "Save As." or the current song will be overwritten. This will overwrite the song that is currently open.Ĭhoosing "Save As." allows you to save your song in different formats, and is a good way to backup your song.
