I do lots of edits per session. Sometimes, I use punch in on the midi track. Each new punch in creates a new audio track with that section. After I get a couple of these audio tracks how I want them, I merge all of the audio tracks for a particular instrument into one track, and delete the temporary "audio" tracks. I allways keep my midi track until the final mix, when I delete it before saving.

I do use my main C; drive for temp files. Where is that location set in PT?
I am not using FOrte as far as I know. How can I tell whichi is my softsynth?

THanks, as always, Bernie
