Audio folders
To create a new project using per-project audio
1. Select File > New.
The New Project File dialog appears.
2. Enter a filename in the Name field
The Location and Audio Path directories are automatically updated in the following format:
• C:\default directory\<project name>. The default directory for new projects is
assigned in Edit > Preferences > File - Folder Locations. <project name> is the project’s
per-project folder name.
• C:\default directory\<project name>\Audio. The default directory for new projects
is assigned in Edit > Preferences > File - Folder Locations. <project name> is the project’s
per-project folder name, and Audio is the subfolder where your audio data will be stored.
3. If you want, rename the Location and/or Audio Path directories.
4. Click OK.
To save an existing project using per-project audio
You may have older files that are not using per-project audio folders. If you want to save these files
using a per-project audio folder, use the following procedure:
1. Make sure the User Per-Project Audio Folders option is selected in Edit > Preferences > File
- Audio Data.
2. Open the project whose audio you want to store using per-project audio.
3. Select File > Save As.
The Save As dialog appears.
4. If you want, change the name of your project.
5. In the Project Path field, enter the new directory where you want to save the project, or use the
Browse button to the right of the field to navigate to an existing directory.
6. Check the Copy all audio with project option.
7. Click Save.
8. SONAR copies the project to the directory specified in the Project Path field and stores all the
project’s audio in the directory specified in the Audio Path field.
Note: After you use the above procedure, you have two versions of the same project.
