To select all files in a group: m Option-click on a group name to select all files in the group. To delete a group: m Select the desired group, then choose View > Delete selected Groups (or press Backspace). The audio files of deleted groups reappear in the upper level of the Audio Bin list. Renaming Audio Files To rename audio files in the Audio Bin, just double-click the file name in the list. A text input box will appear, allowing you to type in a new name. Important: Before renaming audio files, you should check if the audio file that you want to rename is used by another project. If it is, do not rename the file, or it won't be found or played by other projects that use the file. Logic Express helps you in these situations: Â Logic Express alters the name of an audio file in all currently opened projects that use this file. Â Logic Express also renames any backup files on the same drive. If you rename a stereo file, Logic Express automatically assigns the new name to up to five files (both the mono files used in Logic Express, their backups, and the stereo file). In this situation, it's a good idea to store all files in the same location. Note: You can freely rename regions whenever you like, but you should note that regions named after their parent audio files automatically adopt the new name of renamed audio files. This does not occur when regions have been given a new name. Chapter 24 Managing Audio Files 563 Moving Audio Files The Audio Bin's Audio File > Move File(s) command (default key command assignment: Control-M) enables you to move selected audio files to another location on your system. If the source drive or partition is the same as the target drive or partition, the files are simply moved to the other folder. This is a very quick and convenient way of organizing the drive and the project. This function is useful when you want to move all audio files used in a project to a new folder, for example. To move all used audio files to a new folder: 1 Choose Edit > Select Used from the Edit menu. This selects all audio files (in the Audio Bin) that are being used in the Arrange area. 2 Choose Audio File > Move File(s) in the Audio Bin menu. An alert will indicate the number of files to be moved. 4 In the ensuing file selector box, select the desired folder (or create a new one), then click Save.
