Chapter 29 Project and File Interchange 655
To restore the backed up file in the Sample Editor:
m Choose the Audio File > Revert to Backup command (or use the corresponding key
command, default: Shift-Command-B). Click the Paste button in the dialog.
Backing Up and Sharing Projects
Project folders help you to keep track of your work: they ensure that all files related to
a project are neatly saved in one location. This makes it easy to back up your projects
and enables easy transfer between computers. This avoids problems such as missing
instruments, audio files, or samples that you need to search for, or reconstruct, in the
studio.
The File > Save as Project function allows you to save a project with all associated files.
These are collectively known as the project assets.
Activation of the Include Assets checkbox in the Save As dialog will include the file
types chosen in the Advanced Options.
The Advanced Option checkboxes determine how files imported from external
locations (locations outside the project folder) should be handled.
They either:
 Stay where they are (if the respective “Copy” checkbox is turned off).
 Or are copied into the project folder (if the “Copy” checkbox is turned on).
To choose the desired project assets:
m Turn on the “Copy external audio files to project folder” checkbox to create copies of
these files in your project folder.
m Turn on the “Copy EXS instruments to project folder” and “Copy EXS samples to project
folder” checkboxes do just that. If you turn off the “Copy EXS samples to project folder”
option, only EXS instrument files will be copied to the project folder when saving, not
the samples associated with the EXS instrument files.
m Turn on the “Copy Ultrabeat samples to project folder” checkbox to create copies of
these files in the project folder.
