Production tip
Posted: Sun Apr 04, 2021 8:02 pm
Here's what I always do when saving:
- I name my song eg "TheHit" as a first save
- I save it a couple of times under this name
- when my loop gets busier I start saving as "TheHit01", "TheHit02" etc. (extra fail safe against corrupted files)
- then, when I start arranging I go eg. "TheHit04_01", "TheHit04_02" etc. as I go further into arrangement
This way you can quickly look at your project folder's contents and have an estimate as to how far you are into production (high first number meaning more advanced loop, high second number meaning more arrangement).
When the song is finished you can manually delete any excess files from the main project folder and the Backup folder to save space.
I also always save any audio samples I use in the project folder.
Hope it's of any use.
