OK, Me and the boys get together and jam, and want to
capture things. I'm assuming setting up one project, then
recording the whole gig is a recipe for disaster and
frustration at best. If I know ahead of time what all the
track assignments will be, I'd like to have things pre-set.
My Solution:
1) I've created a project with all my track assignments
pre-set, but empty (we'll call this my 'template'.
2) I create a directory for the jam, say c:\my
vegas projects\jam20000518, and many subdirs under that for
each song (song01,song02,song03,...), and copy my template
into each.
3) At this point it seems, that in order to keep all the
track .wav's in the same directory as the song's project, I
need to go into each project template's properties window,
then change the default directory where .wav's will be
placed when done recording.
4) Come gig time, I open up a project template, select all
the tracks, arm for record and go! When the song ends, I
hit stop and all the .wav's get saved in a neat and tidy
arrangement, in the same folder as the project.
5) Now I've got a week to mix things before the next jam.
Q: if you are still with me... ;-)
Is there an easier/better way? How do you do it?
Suggestion: SF, you still with me?
Add a checkbox type option in the project's properties that
says "save all files in same folder as project."
