Deleting Unused Portions of Audio Files (Erase Unused)

“Erase Unused” allows you to “trim” down your Audio ﬁles so that they only con-

tain the sections actually referenced by that ﬁle’s segment. This helps you maintain

as much free space on the hard disk(s) as possible.

The idea behind this is that hard disk space is most often precious, and recorded si-

lence (for example) takes up as much hard disk space as recorded “noise”. When

you adjust Start and End Points in segments to “hide” the sections of audio you

don’t want to hear, you are still using up valuable disk space for those unheard bits.

To “ﬁx” this, use Erase Unused.

Which Parts of the Files are considered Unused?

Unused portions of a ﬁle are the sections not played back by any segment in the

“Pool”.

This means that even if the segment isn’t used anywhere in the Song (which you

can tell by looking at the speaker icon beside the segment – unused segments have

no number) the section of the ﬁle that the segment plays is considered to be in

use.To avoid keeping a lot of unnecessary audio sections, the program therefore au-

tomatically performs a “Purge Segments” (see page 219) before the actual “Erase

Unused” operation.

Applying Erase Unused

● Erase Unused changes the contents of one selected audio ﬁle. If you use the

ﬁle in another Song, or if you want to be able to go back to the original re-

cording, make sure you have a copy of the ﬁle before you begin!

1. Select either the ﬁle or one of it's segments.

This command works on “one sound ﬁle at a time”. For this function to work,

two criteria have to be fulﬁlled:

• The audio ﬁle must be used by at least one Event somewhere in the Song.

• There must be some section of the audio ﬁle that isn’t used by any Segment

(otherwise there’s nothing to erase, right?).

These segments

are each used in

one place in the

Song.

These segments are

not used in the

Song, and will

automatically be

purged (deleted).
