Very large logicpro X files

Hi there,

45 minutes of audio is quite a lot. You have to understand the recording structure to grasp why the file size is so big.

Happy to help you with your issue. Just want to be clear. Did you already copy each portion to its own respective song? Once you answer this, I’ll walk you through the steps.

It is correct that the “region” in your new project is still the same size as the entire audio file. This is because you can still change the length of the region to the entire recording. A region is only a part of an audio file.

You need to create individual audio files first. The most convenient way is to use one of Logic's export functions.

Logic Menu > File > Export > X Tracks as Audio files (you can set the length by a cycle)

or

Logic Menu > File > Export > X Regions as Audio files (the length is determined by the region length)

These two options don't alter the Main Window in your existing project and give you some convenient naming options.

You could also use

Edit > Convert > Audio Regions to New Audio Files

but this option will change the existing regions into audio files in the existing main window, which can be sometimes pretty handy, but in your case I would take one of the other two options.
