Alternatively you can use the mouse, and go directly to the File Save command above the Edit
screen.
Get Ready
Press the green proj menu button.
Press the
Proj button, if not already selected.
Operation
Press the save soft key in the Pad. This saves the project immediately.
Alternatively, press the
save as soft key. This displays a dialog where you can enter a new name
and save an alternative version of the project.
Note: when using Save As, none of the audio in the project is copied, only references to that
audio. This may reside in the original project, in external files, or both.
What you are Saving
The save command always saves the Edit List, which includes references to all the media being
accessed by your project (these are saved automatically when recorded). Also saved are the Bus
Formats, Bus Assignment, Monitor setup, path names, seed names and other configuration data.
The Mix information is optionally saved, and can also be manually saved at any time (see Save My
Automation Data below)
To ensure that Mix information is automatically saved when you save the Project, do the
following:
 Go to the Mixer Megamode
Select
Mix On to display automation commands
 Press the
file button to open the Mix File menu
Press the
System Mix soft key so that it displays ON.
When System Mix is on, the system saves, with every project save command:
 A static mix of all parameters including Faders, Mutes, EQ, Dynamics, Plug-ins (not solos)
 The current automation mix, if any
In addition, when System Mix is ON, these same items are loaded when a project is opened (if
they were saved in the file, otherwise default settings are loaded).
