I am glad to find this thread. I have been using Tracktion 7 for some while, but it is increasingly buggy. I just downloaded the Free Waveform, but immediately ran into warnings about opening Tracktion projects/files... it is disconcerting. On an initial try, I found that making a copy of an edit at the Project (home) screen, then opening that in Waveform, doesn't SEEM to affect the older edits when opened in Tracktion. I am afraid to open an edit directly into Waveform... so I guess this (and BACKUPS BACKUPS BACKUPS) is the method.
Any other concerns or methods people have encountered ?

p.s., in terms of nostalgia, I have Tracktion projects back to 2005 (!) so I am sure I will have to keep some old versions of the software floating around. . .

Advice Appreciated - Bringing old Tracktion Edits into Waveform and then making New Ones
2021-02-27T20:01:15+00:00
I am wanting to bring in a load of old Tracktion 2 songs into Waveform 11 Pro.
Each of these would be a self-contained Project/Edit. (But I may have different mixes within the same edit, but using the same audio/midi files)
I may want to make a few changes to these old edits when they are in Waveform, now that I know how to use all the old 32 bit vsts, thanks to advice given to me on this forum.
I then want to make a contemporary version of each song/edit.
This may use some of the previous audio and midi files.
I will also want to delete some of the previous audio and midi files as they are replaced by new versions in the contemporary version of the song. But I don't want any deletions of files to affect the old edit.
Reading the Waveform User Guide this section seems the most relevant
"In Waveform you can have as many Edits per Project as you want.
This gives you a great system for revision control. At key milestones in your workflow, go back to
the Project tab click Create a Copy. This copies the Edit to a new file. Rename the copy appropriately
and resume work using the new Edit. You can return to the previous state of the Project at any point
by opening an earlier Edit."
I just want to check with you experts that if I do what is described above it will create copies of all the audio/midi files and not just a Waveform project file that draws on the same audio/midi files.
I don't want to risk losing files in the creation of a new edit. Also, if I do subsequently delete audio/midi files in Edit 2 I want to know they are not deleted from Edit 1.
I hope that makes sense!
