I must be missing something...is there a video that teaches how to create, save and open a session?

Question

I just don't seem to get it. Opening an old session seems difficult if you can't remember the specific name. Files in those sessions are not saved it seems unless you save each one individually. (Am I wrong here) Can someone help this early morning radio guy...I must be missing a step but I can't figure it out.

I have that problem sometimes, too. Personally I put it down to my age!

Audition won't let you close a session with unsaved files without putting up a warning about it - and you get an option to save all of them. By default, files get put in the {session name}_Recorded file with the sesx file (the session information) in the root folder. In there as well you can get Bounced file folders, and also one for mixdowns. When you first create a session, you get to choose the path you use, and everything else just occurs in a structure beneath that, which you can add to if you want. Whenever you need to save things, you get a browse option as well - worth using that first.
I really don't think it's that difficult, and the new scheme (yes it's not quite like the previous version) seems to work fine. With the best will in the world, Adobe can't compensate for anybody's amnesia though! Since there isn't a particular limit on what name you give your sessions, then the best thing to do if you're likely to forget is to give them longer, more meaningful names - and make sure that the folder they're in has the same name. Also, try to keep a relatively flat folder structure - in other words, don't have them nested several layers deep in a huge tree structure - that never helps.
