Awhile ago I worked on a project I named “rider”. Since then every time I save a new project it creates a new “rider” folder. ie rider 1 rider 2 rider 3 etc…
How can I stop this?
I hope this makes sense. I’m not very computer savvy. Thanks
Jeff: Watch this older youtube video a few times about getting started
with a Cubase project. Note – This is Cubase 4 but should work.

PS: I use Cubase 7 but I still start projects
almost exactly as the video shows
Thanks Halljack. That was somewhat helpful. I guess I need to make subfolders when I save a project, or else Cubase will do it for me. I still don’t understand how it is using the foldername “rider”. I completely deleted all files the other day and saved them to an external drive. I wanted to start fresh with new projects organized better in the library.
So when it came time to save the first new project-“rider” still pops up as a folder name-with an “audio” subfolder.
Why?
When you create a new project, are you specifying the location or are you using a default location?
Is it possible this “rider” file path is saved in Cubase as your default project location and you are selecting default upon creation of a new project?
Hey Scab, I’ll try to explain this the best I can thanks for your patience.
I start a new project. Then when I close it for the first time I have to save it like “save as”.
Then the window comes up with the pathway documents/Cubebase AI 6 projects.
I save it under Cubase AI6 projects. Is that good?
I never save it under “rider” but still it creates a “rider” folder everytime. The rider folder opens up to contain “audio”. But it’s empty.(unless you open it with any/all files)
I give the project a name ie…“rocker”. It saves as “rocker” usually but this rider file will also be created.
It’s annoying because i erased everything yesterday to get rid of this rider pathway. But it still pops up.
i know that was an awful explanation Scab.
Jeff: When I first started with Cubase Le4
this is how I started a Project.
-
Start Cubase
-
click “File”
-
New Project
4… Check – “Prompt for Project Location” – Don’t use “Use Default Location”
5… Click empty
6… Click Continue
7… click “DESKTOP” so you can see your project file easily -
Click “New Folder” Name your Project — I use the song"s name – Multitrack – DATE
-
hit your “ENTER” key
-
Click “New Folder” again
-
Name your project again
-
hit your Enter key one more time
-
Click OK
-
Now go to File again “TOP LEFT”
-
Save as
-
Name your project again
-
Click Save
-
close the project
-
now open it back up
-
file
-
recent projects
-
your project should be # 1 on the list
-
click on it
Jeff I hope this helps

ps: As Scab was saying using “the default location” may have been your problem
Also do a bunch of “TEST PROJECTS” so you got this down.
Scab and Halljack thanks. Very helpful. I forgot about default project location. Those project set-ups steps are very helpful.
Jeff: Glad to have helped.
Keep reading the Cubase Manual,
watching Cubase videos - and checking on this forum.
Cubase will get easier and easier
for ya as time goes on.
