Session Archive

Using the “Archive” utiliity, you can create an “Archive” of a session snapshot which automatically compresses the snapshot, the audio+midi files, and other necessary files into a single compressed file.

• Archive Name: the name of the resulting archive file.
• Target directory/folder: the location of the resulting archive file
• Audio Compression: Choose FLAC to reduce the size of the audio files using lossless compression. The FLAC format preserves the exact digital values of the audio .wav file, but takes about half the space This requires additional time for the archive process, but results in a smaller archive file. Choose 24bit for full-quality archive, or 16bit for slightly lesser quality, and significant disk-space savings.
• Exclude unused audio sources: if this is enabled, then the archive will not include any audio or midi files that aren’t currently in use by the snapshot.

! note that the session archive only stores the snapshot and source files for the currently-open snapshot file. This is a convenience when delivering a single song to a publisher or collaborator, and they don’t need the full session folder. The full session folder and all its contents should be part of your regular disk backup routine. Always back up your important data!
