Alternatively you can use the mouse, and go directly to the

File



Save

command above the Edit

screen.

Get Ready

Press the green

proj

menu

button.

Press the

Proj

button, if not already selected.

Operation

Press the

save

soft key in the Pad. This saves the project immediately.

Alternatively, press the

save

soft key. This displays a dialog where you can enter a new name

and save an alternative version of the project.

Note:

when using Save As, none of the audio in the project is copied, only references to that

audio. This may reside in the original project, in external files, or both.

What you are Saving

The save command always saves the Edit List, which includes references to all the media being

accessed by your project (these are saved automatically when recorded). Also saved are the Bus

Formats, Bus Assignment, Monitor setup, path names, seed names and other configuration data.

The Mix information is optionally saved, and can also be manually saved at any time (see Save My

Automation Data below)

To ensure that Mix information is automatically saved when you save the Project, do the
following:



Go to the

Mixer Megamode

Select

Mix

to display automation commands



Press the

file

button to open the Mix File menu

Press the

System

Mix

soft key so that it displays ON.

When System Mix is on, the system saves, with every project save command:



A static mix of all parameters including Faders, Mutes, EQ, Dynamics, Plug-ins (not solos)



The current automation mix, if any

In addition, when System Mix is ON, these same items are loaded when a project is opened (if
they were saved in the file, otherwise default settings are loaded).

Save My Automation Data

Overview

Automation data must be saved independently from the rest of the project. This allows it to be

copied from project to project as needed.

This guide shows you how to save automation data.

Get Ready

Press the green

Mixer

button.

Press the

Mix

button to display automation commands.

Press the

file

button to display the Mix File menu.
