jkoseattle Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I am having to freeze all the tracks in this group of projects, and I've run out of disk space. I want to pick up where I left off with the freezing, and understand that I can change the folder for Audio Data in Preferences for the Global Audio Folder, but I'm worried about a few things: 1. Having tracks within a single project with the frozen audio in completely different places 2. The disk filled up. So it has very little space for anything. Maybe I should un-freeze a handful of tracks just so I have some headroom locally, and re-freeze them after I change the drive? 3. I'm (hopefully soon) going to be archiving this entire project kit and kaboodle. How can I cause all the frozen audio data to come along with the project when I do this?

jkoseattle Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 I tried changing the Global Audio Folder, and restarted Cakewalk, and when I froze a track, no files were found in this new folder. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutrageProductions Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Why are you using the Global Audio folder? Especially on a drive with little room left. "Save as" the entire project to a drive with space using "Per Project Folders" & "Copy all audio" settings. Problem solved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Best not to save projects to C drive. Hard drives are very reasonable priced. You open the project and use Save as and put it in the data drive. Make sure you check Copy Audio with project. You should have these projects backed up to a couple of data drives by now. The last place on earth is the global audio folder. That is a sure fire way to get in trouble and loose stuff. Edited July 18 by John Vere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkoseattle Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 (edited) Thank you. I'm sorry I posted this question. I know how and why to back things up. I know how to shop on Amazon. I had reasons for doing things the way I did months ago. I'll figure out a solution on my own. Edited July 18 by jkoseattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 If a disc is close to full, definitely consider transferring about 10% of that to another drive (even temporarily). There are system and app temp files that need places to go, so that will stress your system if you get over 90%, especially on the C drive.
