Audio folders
Audio file management
3. Click OK when you are done.
4. Use the Windows Explorer or some other program to move all audio files from the old Global
Audio Folder to the new Global Audio Folder.
All new audio files will be stored in the new Global Audio Folder, unless you decide to use per-
project audio.
Per-project audio folders
You have the option of using a single audio data folder or using different audio data folders for each
project. By default SONAR stores audio data in per-project audio folders, but you can use the Global
Audio Folder if you want. If you want to change the default behavior, use the following procedure:
To enable or disable the per-project audio folder option
1. Go to Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data.
2. In the Per-Project Audio section, check or uncheck the Use Per-Project Audio Folders option.
3. Click OK to apply the change.
If you enable the per-project audio folder option, the New Project File allows you to choose the
directory where you want to store the new project and a subdirectory where you want to store the
project’s audio data.
To create a new project using per-project audio
1. Select File > New.
The New Project File dialog box 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.
Tip:
It is safer, but more time-consuming, to first save the all projects as bundle files, change the
Global Audio Folder, then open the bundle files. This ensures that all of the audio data is properly
moved to the new Data directory.
