4. Navigate to the folder that you want to use as record folder or create a new
folder with the New Folder button.
If you want to have separate folders for different types of material (speech, ambient
sounds, music, etc.), you can create subfolders within the project Audio folder and
assign different tracks to different subfolders. This way, all audio files will still reside
within the project folder, which will make managing the project easier.

RAM Requirements for Recording
Each track on which you record requires a certain amount of RAM, and the memory
usage increases the longer the recording lasts. For each audio channel, 2.4
MB of
RAM are required for MixConsole settings, etc. The memory usage increases with
the length of the recording, the sample rate, and the number of tracks you record.
Consider the RAM limitation of your operating system when setting up your project
for recording.
