Saving as Project

You can use the File > Save as Project function to save a song or project. If the open
song isn’t already a project, the saved song file is assigned “project” status. This allows
you to set the Project settings (File > Project > Settings) which determine how imported
files are handled. This also makes the project “safe”, allowing you to move or copy the
project folder without losing any file references that point to items within the folder.

In the Save As Project dialog you can choose, if the project files should be copied or
moved into the project folder.

The Sampler Instruments and Samples pull-down menu in the Save as Project dialog
features a Copy Instruments Only option which leaves the samples in their existing
location.

The Copy All button presets all pull-down menus to the Copy state.

The Move All button presets all pull-down menus to the Move state.

The Create Folders for Audio File Groups checkbox allows Logic to move or copy the
audio files to subfolders named after the group that the audio file belongs to (if
applicable). See the “Audio Window Groups” section on page 357 for further
information.
