After that: Save updates the project to all current revisions.

Whenever I have tried this, there is always a missing file that Mixcraft cant locate, and its somewhere on the parent hard drive, or somewhere, and you cant find it.

Mixcraft Import Garageband Upgrade To A

Soon I want to upgrade to a 16GB Ram pc in order to try out the new Mixcraft, so I was wondering, if I remove my old internal hard drive and insert it into the new pc - but as a secondary drive - I can then revive some projects which were creaking in the old 8GB pc, but will now have double the memory to play with, hopefully allowing me to tweak what I couldnt, and add parts which were causing the rivets to pop out from the old desktop.

Theres one song in particular Im keen to rework with more Ram and a better processor but - as I say - its on the old hard drive, so why not import the entire drive into a more powerful desktop Many thanks.

Thanks, not sure what you mean They are Mixcraft Project files.

I guess I do copy them, yes, onto other computers running Mixcraft.

When I have a project typically made up from a dozen MC project files I mix everything down to a single mp3 or wav file.

It would help if I could rework one or several of these Mixcraft Project file songs in their original MC6 format, computer-to-computer, but so far I have never been able to do this.

So I wondered if I imported an entire hard drive of MC6 projects into a new, more powerful computer, I could then work on projects which didnt have enough memory cpu latitude in the old 2core pc So I wouldnt be copying these MC files, Id be working from the originals.

Create a project folder and name it, use the proper save function with that folder as the project destination.

Doing so saves all the project assets to one place, eliminating the primary cause for the lost files and searching for sounds issues.

Having tried this before, I can tell you from experience that there are far too many potential pitfalls to not strongly recommend backing up any projects you care about first, by using the appropriate method as described above.

Learn it. Make it a habit.

Its the correct way to archive your projects.

If Im lucky I remember exactly where the file was borrowed from and manually direct Mixcraft to the folder and - yes - the project loads.

You have to understand, I sometimes make dozens to scores of a virtually identical audio file until I have it as I want it, thats when the fun begins, suddenly Mixcraft cant find the 25th run I made of a drum roll which I then (25.2) added some reverb to as an afterthought.

Thats comparatively easy for mp3s and wavs but not so easy for the Mixcraft project files.

Despite naming all my projects, I still end up with hundreds of numbered Mixcraft project files, they seem to be numbered by default These files are ultimately useless because you dont know what they are after a while.

What is to be done I guess with the new DAW I need to identify these files from the word go and name them, after listening back to them, I cant see any other way of stopping Mixcraft creating all these numbered files Its not that easy to find them either, they come up under the File tab but not under the Recent Projects tab which is what I rely on to find previous projects.

All my work was archived separately (hard drive) until I allowed Microsoft to use that drive for backup - it kept prompting me - it then wiped the entire drive and recorded a fail for backup.

When I remove the current drive I hope to also clone it so that I have a whole hard drive devoted to back-up.

Drives do fail though, I had one which turned to toast one day, for no particular reason, it just fried.

Mixcraft Import Garageband Plus Is That

Goodness knows what I lost, mostly digital holiday photos on that one I think A plus is that every song I have recorded exists in name as mp3 and wav format, those are easy to archive Ps.

In retrospect, what I think Im doing is following the save it rule - click save every time you modify a project.

It sounds like I should be clicking save as instead, and naming every single revision of a song which might have 20 or even more stages before it is mixed down to wav - maybe thats one place I am slipping up.
