Saving projects
I probably do it differently than most but here is how I do it
Go to my documents...right click and create a folder for your music projects and name it whatever you want.
once I create that folder i open that folder and create a folder for each song I make.
Example...my documents...create reaper musc projects folder...open folder and create another folder for song.
Now open reaper...before doing anything I create new project then save project...click save project...go to documents/repear music projects/song folder you created for this song.
Now everything you record in reaper will go to that folder...this is the best way for me to do it.
Render...when you render a file I click browse button and make sure it goes in the same folder...once I find folder you can name that file whatever you want.
When you want to start a new song/project go to my documents/click reaper recording projects...open folder...create a new folder for song and name it...then do the same steps as before however now save things in new project.
When rendering I usually click browse to make sure its saved in right folder...I work on like 10 songs at once and you dont want to render and save into the wrong project folder.
Here is a short video...click on small square bottom right of video to enlarge...quality of video is bad...wont use photobucket for videos anymore...bad quality.
