7.3.4 Copy External Files to the Song Folder
If audio loops and other files used in your Song are stored in many different file locations on
your computer, it can be difficult to find them, especially if files are moved or deleted.
Scattered files also make it difficult to back up your Song and all of its contents to a single
location or to share your Song with a collaborator.
To quickly copy all external files used in your Song to the Song's Media folder,
[Right]/[Control]-click in the Pool and select Copy External Files from the pop-up menu. Only
those files that did not previously exist in the Song folder will be copied and placed into the
Media folder.
You are also asked, when saving your Song, whether you would like to Copy External Media if
any new media has been added to the Song since the last save.
7.3.5 Back Up or Share Your Song
Once all of the external files have been copied to your Song folder, you can back up your Song
and all of its contents simply by copying the Song folder to an external hard drive or DVD. To
share your Song with another Studio One user, you can simply compress the Song folder in a
.zip or .sit archive and email or transfer the archive.
It's unwise to rely on a compressed archive for backup, as future compatibility with the archive
type is uncertain, and file-write errors could lead to an unusable archive. The best practice is to
create a Wave file for every track in your Song and store these files, uncompressed, along with
the original Song file.
