OPTIMIZE

As described in "UNDO and REDO" on Page 72, the VS-2480 retains all of your
recorded data so that you can undo up to 999 of your most recent actions. A project can
grow quite large with audio you don't plan to use.
You can "optimize" a project, deleting from your hard drive all data not currently on a
project V-Track. In some cases, this can lead to the recovery of large amounts of drive
space. A lean project is also faster to back up, and requires less CD-R/RW disk space.
After you've optimized a project, you can no longer undo actions performed prior to
the optimization procedure. Your Undo levels start over again back at Level 1 with the
first action taken after the optimization.
You can't use Undo to reverse an optimization procedure.
Optimization on the VS-2480 is not the same as optimization on a computer. On the
VS-2480, optimization doesn't defrag your drive (Page 113)—it deletes unwanted files.
Optimize deletes only unused audio in the selected project. It doesn't affect any audio
on any of your V-Tracks, whether the V-Tracks are currently selected or not.
