Setting the Audio Record Folder
Each Cubase project has a project folder containing an Audio folder. By default, this is where
recorded audio les are stored. However, you can select record folders independently for each
audio track if needed.
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, select all tracks to which you want to assign the same record folder.
2. Right-click one of the tracks to open the context menu.
3. Select Set Record Folder.
4. In the le dialog, navigate to the folder that you want to use as record folder or create a
new folder by clicking New Folder.
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
les still reside within the
project folder, which makes managing the project easier.
