654 Chapter 29 Project and File Interchange
∏ Tip: You can access your own public .Mac folder by choosing another account, and
typing in your own user name.
3 Click OK when you are done.
Note: Data accessed through .Mac is downloaded in an on demand fashion, and is only
stored (on the local hard disk) if you decide to do so. This is similar to settings which
exist in a project, but are not saved as files on the hard disk.
To disconnect the active .Mac account:
m Choose Disconnect .Mac in the Action menu of the Library.
This allows you to connect to another account, or to perform a local refresh or other
operation, without impacting on the .Mac data.
To refresh the Library:
m Choose Refresh Library in the Action menu of the Library.
This refreshes both the local library and the .Mac accounts you are connected to.
Sharing Key Commands
You can access shared key command sets in the Key Commands window.
To browse for shared key command:
m Choose Options > Presets, then browse the .Mac or Bonjour folders.
Backing Up Audio Files
The backup functions available in the Audio Bin and Sample Editor create a duplicate
of the selected audio file (or files) in the same storage location as the originals. Backup
files inherit the name of the source file, and are easily identified by the “.dup” file
extension.
To create a backup of one or more selected files in the Audio Bin:
m Choose the Audio File > Backup File(s) command. Click the Duplicate button in the
dialog.
Back up (duplicate) files can be directly added to the Audio Bin (or Arrange), just as you
would with the original audio files.
To create a backup of the selected file in the Sample Editor:
m Choose the Audio File > Create Backup command (or use the corresponding key
command, default: Command-B). Click the Create button in the dialog.
Use this feature before performing a destructive editing operation in the Sample Editor,
as it provides a “fallback” position if the audio processing produces undesirable results.
