How do you manage your projects?

Post by gunforhire » Sun Jul 25, 2010 2:02 pm

I often end up having TONS of projects that have really crappy names, which renders me unable to know whats in there. Sometimes I try to clean up my library of projects by renaming them properly, although this takes craploads of time since you cant rename projects while they're open (Im on a PC), and projects take some time to open up as well.

How do you cope with this problem?

I basically have one huge project where I sketch an idea after idea.

Then when it comes to putting ideas together for a song I rename the project and move those ideas to arrangement.

This works since I don't use that much samples or audio loops. Most of my stuff is just midi clips and mostly I use external instruments.
