The following should be taken into account when copying or moving project folders:

• When a project is saved with Include Assets selected, and the recording path is pointing

to a location inside the project folder, the recording path is relative. This means that
the recording path for the audio data moves with the project, making it possible to
move the project folder in the Finder or use the Save As command.

• When manually setting a recording path (File > Project Settings > Recording >

Core Audio Recording Folder) outside the current project folder, the recording path is
absolute. This means that the recording path for the audio data always remains the
same, even after using the Save As command to save as a new project or when moving
the project file in the Finder. This is important if you prefer to record all audio data into
a single location outside the project folder.

Cleaning Up Projects

If there are any unused project files in your project folder, make use of the File > Project
> Clean Up command. If any unused files are found, the following dialog is displayed:

Select the checkboxes in the first column to choose files for removal. The name and path
of the file to be deleted is shown in the last two columns.

Only files with active checkboxes in the first column are deleted. All unselected entries
remain as they are.

If multiple rows are selected, a click in any checkbox switches all selected rows to the
new state (either selected or unselected).

Note: The Clean Up command only deletes unused files (all types, except movie files).
Clean Up takes into account the project currently loaded, and all other Logic Pro project
files in the project folder. Only files that are not used by any of these projects are displayed
in the Clean Up list.

Consolidating Project Settings

If your project contains files that are not in the correct sub-folders within the project
folder, you can use the Consolidate command to automatically organize them into the
standardized project file structure.
