Subject:ANYWAY TO CHANGE DEFAULT RECORD FOLDER? Posted by: lang Date:3/6/2003 4:37:36 PM hey is there anyway to change the default record to folder in acid 4.0. it seems that it defaults to the my documents folder for each new song. can this be changed so it doesn't have to changed each time... thanks

Reply by: Iacobus Date:3/6/2003 10:21:20 PM I'd actually rather specify it myself on a project-by-project basis, as the recording folder location is saved when the project is saved. This location is used later when you open the project again and do more recording. More conducive to organization, IMO. It's better to keep takes with associated projects. You could create a blank project, do some recording in the folder of your choice, delete the take and then save the project with a name like, "recording template.acd". Then when you go to open this project, the folder of your choice will be available. HTH, Iacobus

In that Default project I have it directed to record in one specific folder. So everytime I start a new project, instead of clicking on the Acid Icon, I click on my Default project Icon which has all my presets ready to go and everything is already set up the way I prefer to work."
