There are many KZbin channels offering DAW tutorials, and I must say that your offerings are among the very best. I've owned LPX for a few years but never made a commitment to learning, it preferring the workflow of Cubase and Reason. Now that I've decided to really give Logic a chance, your vids have proven to be my go to learning source. Your teaching style is totally on point. I for one truly appreciate the work you put into making this resource available to us all. Thank you and keep up the great work.

I always disliked that about Logic. There are times when I’ve been trying to find the right audio part or vocal for a song. This entails; Add Audio File > search Mac or Folder > Test sound/vocal > Either delete or Cmd + Z. I may scroll through and test 20 different audio parts and not need to keep any of them, however even though I undid each audio part I imported, it held onto each part, even if I didn’t save the track. This of course ended up making the project way larger than it had to be. I never understood what Apple’s thinking was behind this. Maybe they assumed we would lose the audio part and not be able to remember it. Nonetheless, I’m only 3:26 min into your video and I never knew you could get rid of bloat like that. Super helpful 😃 Cheers mate,

Chris, There's another critical thing I've found out about, which I think you should share. I followed your steps but still had loads of bloats. (You managed to reduce files from 5GB to 3GB but that was still waaaay to much!). I then followed your packages vs files video and it prompted me! It's the FREEZE FILES that are eating into my hard drive. All my s/w instrument tracks were also saved as audio files! I just didn't think of that! Freezing is really powerful but from now on, once I'm done with my projects I will unfreeze all the tracks before saving! The worst case scenario is that I'll have to freeze them again to get my CPU usage down but I'll save tons of space.

Lemme throw out some Finder tips for you. Command+I opens the Get Info window. Throw an Option in there, and it'll stay open for whatever you click, not just the individual file or folder selected. The Command+Option+I method is also useful when selecting multiple files, instead of opening a few, a dozen, or hundreds of Get Info windows on accident. Command+J opens view preferences (this differs from the Desktop to an actual Finder window - you need to do this with a Finder window open). I *always* make sure "Calculate All Sizes" is checked so you get the size of any folder in the Finder when using the list view. Enable the status bar by going to View > Show Status Bar (again, with an actual Finder window open). This will give you the file or folder size and some other useful information at the bottom of the Finder at all times, regardless of view mode. All that makes gathering file information so much easier than right clicking through stuff.

When I want to be sure, sure sure sure, I do every cleaning you do on a COPY of the original piece. Then I load this cleaned copy on an other computer and I check if everything is OK. If yes I keep it and put the original big fat one in a special folder and I shall erase it in the next 6 months. Not before. Belt PLUS supenders.

Hey Chris, love this - just about to archive 51 episodes of a podcast series - I have some alternatives of the episodes in some cases. How does this process affect alternatives? Are they considered 'back ups'? And by choosing to delete back ups does that delete the alternative version and its audio? Can't wait to see some of the less Logic instructional and more creative videos in 2021. You seriously need to add a Patreon my friend. :)

If you use Melodyne , the transfers are held in the Celemony folder under long unidentifiable names. It’s therefore useful to bounce the track down when you’re satisfied with it. Yesterday I found 5 years of Melodyne wav files which were over 4gb! I deleted them as I didn’t need them anymore.

Awesome video! I was wondering if you could make a video about gapless track transitions in masters, like when songs connect on an album seamlessly with no gap, perhaps connected with some atmospheric sounds.. xample would be Beastie Boys,, Iron and Wine... some albums sounding like one long song with no gaps.. so cool! I'd love to see a video about this subject and best practices of deep mastering for whole albums.

Thanks! I probably have tons of gigabytes taking up unnecessary space. 😅 So it seems this won’t affect any “alternative versions” within the project... funny, how it warns you that deleting files in Logic “cannot be undone”. That’s not true at all! I’ve accidentally deleted and just hit undo and it’s back. Besides, even if it went to the bin, it’s not automatically emptied anyway, so...
