    Please advise me on how to save an alternative version of a session that is already saved...

      I've run into a slight problem saving alternate versions of the same session.

       

       

      When I want to do this, I go to "Save As" and I check "save copies of all associated files"

       

      I then save to the same folder as the original session, hoping it will create a new "...._recorded" folder.

       

      But it doesn't, so I make my own "recorded" folder for the sound files and put all the new files in there, only now when I open the alternate session it says it's missing a file, so I then have to go into the recorded folder and have it find the file, if I re-save like this then it says another file is missing and so on.

       

      What I can't understand it, Why does it create a "recorded" folder when I originally save a session, but not if I change that session, re-name and do a "save as" while saving new copies of all the associated files?  It saves the new session and files but there is no "recorded" folder they are all together in whatever folder is chosen to save into.

       

      ?

       

       

      I'm stumped, what is the best way to save an alternate version of a session?

       

      So say I'm working on a session called "Ham" and I destructively edit some files but I want to save the session with those files under a different name with a reference to the original, so I "Save As" and call the new session "Ham #2" ...

       

      How then, can I make it save the session file along with the sound files, but put all the sound files in a folder that says "Ham #2_Recorded"

       

      Is there an easier way that I'm missing?

       

       

      I would greatly appreciate any advice and/or suggestions on this matter, I definetly need to get to the bottom of this.
