Ok so.. Cubase updated and the Backup Project …function doesn’t function if I haven’t saved the project.. The thing is, since I use the “backup project” instead of “Save as” because I want the audio folder in the specific location.. well, now I can’t do that. Maybe there’s a workaround or maybe I’m just doing it in a bad way but .. is there another way.
I usually start to work on a track and if it’s any good .. I do a backup project to have everything in one place. It’s worked for the last 10 years, new version .. it dosn’t. Is there a way to do this I’ve missed. I thought maybe they’ve finally made the “save as” work this way but.. doesn’t seem like it does? Or .. does it and I’ve just missed something?
I’t honestly weird they don’t have a “collect and save” function.. Essentially exactly what the “backup project” was but just the almost default way of “saving as”.
Oh wow, I was just about to post a question about this. I’m relatively new to Cubase, starting with v13. The whole audio folder thing and the fact you have to use Backup Project just to move it is quite odd to me (why not just let users in media pool select a new folder?).
But anyway, I’ve been frustrated lately when I work on a new idea and record some audio, then I would like to use the Backup Project function to redirect everything to a properly named project folder, but I have noticed it is grayed out too, until you save it first. Then you can back it up but you have the extra steps of having to go delete the saved project. Although I’m pretty new I don’t think I remember that being the case in v13.
According to this thread I found from last year, it seems the workflow you describe is common! Hopefully the devs can restore this behavior (and while we’re at it, please let us redirect the audio folder without having to use backup project!)
