I played a show last night and i had some issues with sorting some erroneous settings in the beginning of the concert.
from what i’ve understood so far, settings aren’t saved (such as pitch +/- etc), or is this what sets are for?
basically i just need a panic reset for setting things to how they need to be in a serious situation.
What settings are saved and what is not saved in a Project?
Everything. Except shared samples that are sitting in the Audio Pool.
Sets are just a container. They hold nothing. All a Set is, is a folder containing a sub-folder for the Audio Pool [ AUDIO ] and one or many Project sub-folders.
Could you confirm, that when you’re in a Set, you can’t access other Set’s sub-folders ?
Can’t you? 
Thats the seperation for the logic. Ensure that only what is accessible at any point in time is contained withing the Set.
And correct me if I’m wrong, from what I understood, projects are auto-saved in .work files, and .strd files are created when you save the project. At that state there are identical.
If you make changes, the project is auto-saved and the .work files will differ from .strd saved files, unless you reload the project, or save it again.
A new project have .work files, but don’t have .strd files before saving.
That’s it ?
