Unlinking Reference Copies

Tip

By default, when a recording is copied, a "Reference Copy" is created meaning that any edits you make in the original recording will also be reflected in the copies you have made.

To make a reference copy independent (standalone):

  1. Go to the folder with the reference copy (as indicated by the reference copy icon shown below)
