Audio on external HD

Post by garywilliamson1 »

Hello all, first post, sorry for the dumb question, I just got DP9 and for the life of me I can't find where to change it to record and store audio on an external HD.
Thanks, I've used Reason(didn't like) and am currently using Studio One Pro, I'm digging DP9 so far!

I'm on W10, dell XPS tower.

There are probably a few ways to accomplish this, but one way is to save a project to your desired audio drive.

An "Audio Files" folder will be created in the project folder and all audio will be written to that folder on that drive.

Hope that helps!

Yes, you can move the entire project folder, as long as the audio folder is in it. The start of chapter 4 covers where audio is captured and how to move it. You can find more detail about locating and naming audio files under the topic Takefiles in the section on the Audio Monitor.

I have a "working" folder in one of my ssd and after I finish with it I "store" it in a different drive. I always like to keep audio within the project.
