[. . . ] · If the file is half of a "split" stereo pair, Logic automatically assigns the new name to the other half of the (SDII) stereo pair. If you rename a stereo file, Logic automatically assigns the new name to up to five files (both the mono files used in Logic, their backups and the stereo file). In this situation, it's a good idea to store all files in the same location. As long as Regions are named after their "parent" audio files, any renaming of the audio files is automatically carried over to their associated Regions. Chapter 9 Audio Window 259 File Administration Record File Defining the Record Path Every recording in the Arrange window creates a new audio file. To keep track of your recordings, you should tell Logic where the data is to be written before you start recording. You can also define a file name for the audio files that are recorded--a kind of working title--which Logic will automatically keep using, by appending a series of numbers to the file name for each subsequent recording. The path (folder) for audio recordings can be set individually for each song. Select Audio > Set Audio Record Path or open the Record menu (click-hold the Record button) to access these settings. Use Audio Object Name for File Name If this option selected, the name of the Audio Object is used as the file name for the recording. Pre-allocate Recording Files If this option is selected, Logic creates the audio file for the next recording when you record-enable the track. In addition, the audio file (buffer) for the next recording is immediately created at the end of every recording. Unused recording files are deleted when you quit Logic. 260 Chapter 9 Audio Window Maximum Recording Time (Recommended): xxx Minutes This parameter defines the maximum recording time for new audio files, in minutes; this determines the size of the temporary recording file. Before any recording can take place, a file large enough to hold it must be created on the hard disk. You can switch this option off, which will create a record file with the size of all available free space on the currently selected hard disk. Disadvantage: · the audio file may be heavily fragmented, if the actual recorded file is much shorter than the pre-created recording file. It is strongly recommended that you switch on this option, and set a maximum recording time. If there's not enough storage space available to accommodate the time you have set, the maximum length of the recording is temporarily reduced. During recording, the Record float window (the one with the red bar) will display the remaining time. Global Record Path/Song Record Path The Global Record Path was available in earlier versions. The advantage is that you don't need to define a record path in every new song before you can record, provided that you don't mind recording files for every song into the same folder. The Song Record Path allows you to organize the audio recordings for each song into its own folder. The advantage is that when you switch from one song to another, any new recordings are automatically stored in the current song's folder, without having to switch the path manually. Set This button can be used to define the path and the file name of the recording file.
