You can go into the audio pool window and perform a 'Prepare Master' or 'Prepare Archive' - can't remember which one. This will bring up a warning saying something about not being able to undo, then asks you to select a folder. Create a new folder, click into it, select OK...then Cubase goes away and saves fresh copies of ONLY the audio files you have used in the song, trimmed for your convenience. Then just go and do a 'save as' and save your song again into that folder and you have a clean, collated copy of your song and all it's used and needed audio files in one place.
For all those graphix headz out there who use Quark to do a similar thing with all their linked graphics, fonts ect into one place to send to a rip, this is similar.
IMPORTANT !!! - Cubase will not copy any audio files that were sitting in your pool that you had not used. Also any sections of a long take that you had not used will be truncated out. So if you had a long vocal take and were planning on sifting through it later, just drag+drop it into a track somewhere and mute it before you to a 'prepare master'.
nuf said, hope this helps.

Just for refernce - you're right about having to export,
rather than being able to open a .arr in Logic...

not sure, but i dont think logic will open a arr file - you
have to export a
MIDI (.mid) file from cubase and then import it in
logic/sonar/whatever.
an 'arrangement' (.arr) is the main part of every cubase
'song' (.all) - it
is the main window. you can have several of these
arrangements as part of
one song, that can all access the same audio files in the
audio pool, the
same VSTis and plugins you've got open etc, and that all use
the same MIDI
settings. so for instance if you wanted to have a
full-length version of
your tune plus a 'radio edit' you could have them as
different arrangements
of the same file - different .arr files within one .all
file, both loaded up
when you load up the song, and you can switch between them
at the click of a
button. you can copy/paste from one arrangement to another.
and that's all i know on the subject. personally i've never
used more than
one arrangement, but there you go!
safe,
mutiny
