Like others on this forum I have experienced the frustration of chewing up disk space as well as wondering exactly which files belong in the session that I have just finished mixing.
We all know the benefits of using Adobe Audition® but one drawback is the numerous files which can be created during a recording session. It is cumbersome to identify the unused files and this can result in large amounts of wasted disk space (I just saved 14gb using this application).
While we all experience similar problems in this regard sometimes the requirements of the solution are understandably not exactly the same.
This is why myself and another have taken a little time away from recording to develop a solution that certainly meets our needs and hopefully the needs of others on this forum.
The application we have developed identifies and assists in the management of unused files from your AA3, AA2, AA1.5 and Cool Edit Pro 2.0 sessions.
It identifies and optionally moves these files to another location for easy deletion or backup.
The application has been tested on a wide range of session files and while not exhaustive it was found that in all cases tested the app identified both the files used within the session as well as all other files not in the session that were located in the session file folder as well as the '_Recorded' folder if it existed.
It has been tested on both XP2 and Vista.
The application is free to download and use and all feedback is welcomed.
