SONG FILE HANDLING
391
• If the program doesn’t find the sound file, a file dialog appears, allowing you to select a folder and name for
the sound file.
The extracted file will be saved in the specified folder, and the path in the song will be adjusted. This would be the
case if you were given the self-contained song by another user, for example.
! Note that it is not possible to un-self-contain samples that originate from ReFills!
! If you un-self-contain samples that were modified in the Edit Sample Window (Record+Reason) and feature
Start and End Markers and/or loop crossfades, the Lossy Sample Export dialog appears. The available options
are described further down in the “Exporting samples” section in the Sampling chapter. Note that the option
you select in the Lossy Sample Export applies to all samples you have deselected in the Song Self-contain Set-
tings dialog! Self-contained samples that were originally from a ReFill cannot be un-self-contained!
Making a Song appear as a Template Song
If you want Songs you have created to appear on the “New Song from Template” sub-menu, and be available for se-
lection when you use the “New Song from Template” command (see “Creating a new Song from a template”), you
need only move or copy the Song(s) to the Template Songs folder in the application folder on your hard drive. The
Template Songs folder is located a little differently depending on computer platform and OS:
! Under Windows, the Application Data folder might be hidden. If this is the case, you’ll have to change the prop-
erties so that you can view hidden files and folders.
• Under Windows XP, the Template Songs folder can be found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Propellerhead Software\Record\Template Songs
• Under Windows Vista, the Template Songs folder can be found in:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Propellerhead Software\Record\Template Songs
• Under Mac OS X, the Template Songs folder can be found in:
~/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Record/Template Songs
A note about saving Songs as audio files
It’s also possible to export your Songs as audio files in WAV or AIFF format. Refer to “Exporting Songs or parts of
Songs” for more information.
