5.4 File Management
Mix File Structure: There may be multiple mixes within each Title. Each Mix has its own
name and a folder in which its files are kept. There is one Mix Tree for
each Mix. A Mix Tree is a collection of Mix Passes, along with a Mix
Tree file. Each Mix Tree and its files are kept in the Mix Folder. So unlike
V2.5 where all mixes for a given Title were just stored within the Title di-
rectory, in V3.0 each Mix has its own folder within the Title. This really
eliminates clutter within the Title folder because no matter how many Mix
Passes are stored, they are all within their own separate folder.
Mix File Organization: The files and folders created and used by Au are identified as
follows:
• The Mix tree database file has an .mt extension (filename.mt);
• Each Mix Pass ends in the pass number with a .mix extension (file-
name-004.mix);
• The folder that the mix tree file and mix pass files resides in is the name
of the mix (filename).
The following example shows the file structure for a Mix named “Baby
Blues”:
D950Projects (Main D950 projects folder)
---WP Mixdown (Project folder)
-----Untold Story (Title folder)
--------Baby Blues (Mix folder)
-----------Baby Blues.mt (Mix tree)
-----------Baby Blues-001.mix (Mix passes)
-----------Baby Blues-002.mix
-----------Baby Blues-003.mix
-----------Baby Blues-004.mix
-----------Baby Blues-005.mix
etc.
