has anyone had any issues with projects that were saved in the same folder? I think it prefer it this way rather than new folder for every project but i don't know if i would run into issues in the future

 

what do y'all think?

 

I wouldn't. For a start if you have tracks in seperate projects named the same it quite possible that your audio pool will become a nightmare with missing files or incorrect ones. I have a main project folder that has seperate folders for each new project. Just my thoughts..

 

It depends. Officially you should not run into troubles.
Now let's say you don't do recording, it's all vsts and midi: There is no way anything could go wrong.
On the other hand: You do recording or use wavs on tracks, all your projects use the same Audio folder. Now when Cubendo wants to create a file that already exists, it just attaches a number and counts up. No problem there. When you render some effect to a file, it's copied to the edit folder and gets a unique extension. No problem there. Now there is that one thing I'm not sure about that could cause troubles: when you select 'make renders permanent' in the DOP menu, the edited file is moved back ot the audio folder. I have seen get those files the original name back, but with numbers attached. So because of those number I THINK the original version still is untouched. But I'm not sure.
Anyhow: I would make one folder per project, just because it's the better style to do it.

 

its almost always better to have more organization, rather than less, especially when dealing with computer files, which is what any digital music project is.

I have a folder called "compositions", in it are a folder called "Lyrics" where I put random lyrics I write,until I have a compostion or tune to put them with. Inside Compositions is also folders by DAW, ie "REAPER", ABLeton, ZOOM24, inside these go each project, ie "YoFineAss", with samples,projects saved in various mixes and incarnations, and notes about wtf I'm trying to do.

It helps you come back to things for remixing, or changing things when you get a new idea or take on a song. I play analog instruments, so I will practice songs I've written, and often find new patterns, intro or other changes I'd like to make, now I have a place to save these recordings - the original project files subfolder.

Organization is your friend, it allows you to compose rapidly without chaos, chaos is the enemy of inspiration, when it delays your ability to get your ideas down before they are forgotten or interupted by the chaos of modern life.

saving every project in one folder (without have a structured set of subdirectories) is not scalable,
its like having a desk and throwing everything in one drawer, its fast, but its impossible to find what you need when you want it

 

okay i think i tried with some samples in sampler track, it add a number to a clone file if it exits, but will try to stick project per folder
