Hi Malcolm, I just discovered your channel by accident and I've really enjoyed the clips I've seen so far. You have a warm and infectious delivery style that's informative and entertaining all at once. Ive been in 'the industry' for a lifetime and I'm still enamored and enthralled with the creative process. I just wanted to quickly reach out to encourage you to keep doing what you're doing. I wish you LOTS of happiness and success. Bye for now ... arnold :)

I would recommend removing unused files from the session and then "Save Session Copy" to a brand new folder. It just gives you another step of safety if you suddenly realise that you deleted that one unused file that you may want later. I'm only talking from past experience!

Can someone help me? I use Windows Hp. I know how to delete audio files in pro tools session. But I want to delete the whole session so I don't see it in my folders at all. And I don't want to see it when I open up pro tools. When I click on a folder it doesn't give me the option to delete it or even put it in the recycle bin. I really need the space most of them are copies anyway
