File Menu

New/Load Project. Replaces the current project with another. A list of recent projects is presented. You can double-click on any of these, or select it and click the button.

Save Project. Saves the current project, overwriting the existing file.

Save Project As. Saves the current project with a new name. You should do this after every few plain Saves to reduce the risk of losing work. Also back up your project files regularly to another drive. Project files do not include any sample data, just a list of which samples are used and at what times, together with other settings, so the file size is small.

Delete Project. You will be asked if you also want to delete the sample files used. The answer should usually be Cancel.

Master Project. This records the project to an AIFF file on disk. Make sure there is enough space on your hard drive before doing this - you will need about 10Megs for each minute of music. Even if you finally want an MP3 file, it is better to save a full quality file such as an AIFF first, and then convert it to MP3, because you may want later to make another MP3 with higher quality.

Online Help. Brings up this Help file, which is in HTML and can also be viewed in any browser and in Multiview.

Encode Dolby Pro Logic

For this, you need four mono tracks, which must be the first (or only) tracks in the project. These tracks become the Left, Right, Centre and Surround channels in a "stereo" Pro Logic output. The samples are used as they are, mixer and automation settings have no effect.

This is an experimental feature.

 
Audio Mode. To select the AHI mode in use. 16 bit stereo ++ is a suitable choice for most purposes.
Screen Mode. Brings up the standard ASL screen mode requester.

Save Preferences. Saves the above, the Preferences in the Options menu, and window sizes and positions.
