A complete backup of the project to another drive in case I screw up the
next steps.........
Next, I choose a song and unlock all files in the Audio bin..
Then I render all active submix audio files to a new folder in the project
folder with names that are easily recognizable which puts the rendered files
at the top of the files shown in the Audio bin....naming the channels
something likie AAkick, AAsnare, AAVox, etc. so that the renders show up
with this at the top of the list of files in the audio bin and are easily

don't delete it.
Next I back this folder up with the newly rend

ered audio files and the new
..ppj.
Open the Audio Window and lock these newly rendered files (they are easy to
find now because they are the topmost files in the audio bin)
Close the Project I'm working on.
Using *My Computer*, go into the project folder, highlight all *audio* files
exept the ones in the new folder I created with the new renders and manually
delete all of the unused files (this way they can still be recovered if I
screw up......be sure not to delete your old .ppj's if you think you will
need them....you can always import the newly rendered files into them if you
have settings there that you are experimenting with)
Open the project back up and make sure all of my rendered files are still
populating the editor window and the project plays back properly.
Since all of the deleted file names will still be shown in the audio window,
I double check to make sure that all of my rendered files are locked before
I go to the next step........
................ in the Audio Window, I do a *select all* and highlight all
files (since I unlocked all files in step 2 and locked the newly rendered
files afterwards, at this point, all of the deleted files will be unlocked
and all of the rendered files will be locked)
Now I do a delete of all files. This permanently deletes all files in the
project except the ones that are locked. Now I have only the newly rendered
files in the project. If I screw this up somehow by forgetting to lock a
newly rendered file, I've got a back of the rendered files on another dirve.
Now I rename my channels and, if I want to, the audio files themselves.
After doing this, I defrag my audio drive.
Simple....huh?

Yeah, Cron - check in with us if you read this..
TCThat seems like that would be the thing to do. I asked him about that, and
neither he nor his buddy had no idea how to make that happen. I'm not a mac
guy, so I couldn't tell him how to do it. I have calls in to a couple
other guys that might can shed some light on it. I'll hold off thru the
weekend to see if somebody who can make the conversion gets back to me.
Thanks again,

I don't think Cron was from Dorchester. I was thinking either
Boston proper or the north shore.
I might be wrong though.

I am trying to breed new life into my CAD VX2 mic.
The tubes are original and yes they are in the microphone.
What's in there now and original are a Sovtek 12AX7WA
and a Phillipps 12AU7/5814A.
My goal is to enhance the top end in a musical way for lead
vocal application. I'm looking at RFT, Sovtek and Electro Harmonix.
Any suggestions with other hi end tube choices would be great.
