Default Names for Audio Files and Clips
Track names define new file and clip names when recording to a track (see
“Naming Tracks” on page 87).
When recording to an audio track, the resulting file and clip names are based on the name of the track. For example, after recording for the first time on a track called “Electric Gtr,” an audio file is created with the name “Electric Gtr_01.” In addition, a clip appears in the Clips List with the name “Electric Gtr_01.” This clip is a whole-file clip.
Subsequent record takes on the same track are named identically, but the digits (indicating the take number) are incremented (for example, “Electric Gtr_02.”) A second set of digits (such as used in “Electric Gtr_01-01”) indicates that the clip was auto-created from an edit.
QuickPunch mode uses a different method for numbering clips.
When recording MIDI tracks, a similar naming scheme is used, though with only one set of digits. For example, after recording to a track called “Synth 1,” a clip is created called “Synth 1-01.” Subsequent clips for that track, generating either from additional record takes or clip edits, are numbered sequentially (for example, “Synth 1-02”).
To rename a track:
1. In the Mix or Edit window, double-click the Track Name button for the track you want to rename.
2. In the Track Name/Comments dialog, type a new track name.
3. Click OK.
