Subject:Default Save Location Posted by: cairo Date:5/4/2002 6:13:27 AM How does one tell Acid 3.0 where to save project files? Acid always defaults to C:\program files\sonic foundry\acid 3.0. In order to save the project to a different location on my hard drive I have to navigate through several folders. How can I tell Acid what my preferred save location is? I can't seen to find this option in preferences or anywhere else as in most other applications.

Then go into acid click options, preferences. There will probably be two locations to browse one for you default audio editor and one for your temporary storage. Click on the browse icon next to "temp storage." locate the forder you created 2 minutes ago and viola.

To do this, save a project, FavoriteRecordDirectory.acd to your D:\RecordingSpot directory, or whatever. Every time you open that project and record into it, it'll save the recordings there, rather than C:\Sonic Foundry...\ACID. Then just browse to D:\RecordingSpot, create a shortcut to FavoriteRecordDirectory.acd, and add it to your desktop, or even your program group at <C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs>. this was excellent advice and i have had no problems with this setup. just be sure not to overwrite your new file.....
