Go to "file" then "save." There is a checkbox on the bottom of the save menu called "copy all media files with project." Uncheck it and files won't be duplicated when saving. Get into the habit of setting up project specific folders for all of your wavs and edit the path where Vegas will save your files under "file" then "properties." Name everything you record in a manner that makes sense "synth_stab_take_one" and you will always be able to organize your files. Hope this helps. -Tad www.peepstudios.com
