backing up your cakewalk files

[mixsit]

is that on sonar only or does cakewalk do that too?

You can make your own 'Project' folders in older versions. Just set them up befor starting the projects and point cake to that folder as the destination.
Old habits die hard- I started doing that in PA-8 as a survival technique, and still roll my own in ACKUS.

Isn't this an awfull lot of work if you work on, say, 4 different projects a day?

definitely. i did change pro audio's folder addresses as suggested by garrigus, which i regret.

How much work is it? You go to explorer, make a batch of new folders with the song names or whatever. I'll often just make them #1,#2,#3, if I don't know the song names befor hand, then rename them later to match the project-song name.

There's an alternative.

That I got, but:

Don't you have to set PA9's audio folder for each project?

Yes you're right about that. But it's just a few quick clicks away.
But midi files or other functions? Do they need to be routed and switched also. Since I'm only doing audio, it occured to me that it might be more steps than that for some.

Midi is stored in the project-file, as is most of the other settings.

...and make sure also soundfonts attached (if you use 'em).
