Project management overview

You can manage Logic Pro projects to control where files used in the project are saved, how projects are organized, and perform other management functions.

A project can include various assets, which are media files and other files used in the project. By default, project assets are saved in the project. Assets can also be referenced from an external location. When you save a project, you can determine whether assets are saved in the project, or are referenced.

When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can manage projects in the following ways.

• Have Logic Pro create a project folder with subfolders for different asset types when you save a project

• Create and edit project alternatives for the current project

• Access different backups, which are manually saved versions of a project

• Clean up project files to reduce the project size by removing unneeded files

• Consolidate assets in a project

• Rename projects from within Logic Pro

When Additional Options: Audio is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, additional options for managing projects are available, including:

• Set an external audio recording path outside the project or project folder

• Move files out of project
