Got a cakewalk file and audio folder from a buddy. Unfortunately, it is rather large. I believe that some of the audio data that is in the folder may not be needed.
There were several "versions" of the song created via doing a "save as" - I only took the "cwp" file that I wanted to work on. All these versions share the same audio folder.
I tried:
Loading the file version I wanted then saving as a bundle format file. Once pulled in to CW, I save as a regular project (with its own audio folder).
Also - I did try running the "Audio Clean" utility, but it did not report anything
Result:
Project file on disk seemed to be as large as the original (around 2Gb)
This seems a bit too large for this project and I was wondering if there was a clean way to purge the "extra" audio from the folder if it is not necessary (don't want to wreck the file).
I'm just looking for a quick idea as to how I could do this . . . Has anyone dealt with this situation?
