Setting Default Locations for Saving Media Files
During the course of a large sound editing project, you may generate numerous
project files, clips, render files, and audio recordings. Soundtrack Pro helps you manage
all this media by saving the files to default scratch locations. You can change the
scratch locations using Soundtrack Pro preferences.
Edited Media Location
When Soundtrack Pro creates and saves audio file projects, the default location for
those files is: /Users/username/Documents/Soundtrack Pro Documents/Edited Media/
Project Name/.
To change the edited media location, do one of the following:
m Choose Soundtrack Pro > Preferences > General, then click Choose to enter a
new location.
m In the Project tab, choose one of the following in the Create Media section:
 In Edited Media (from Preferences)
 In Media folder with project
Scratch Location
When Soundtrack Pro creates temporary render files, the default location for those files
is: /Users/username/Documents/Soundtrack Pro Documents/Temporary Files/.
To change the scratch location:
m Choose Soundtrack Pro > Preferences > General, then click Choose to enter a new location.
Recordings Location
When you record audio with Soundtrack Pro, the default location for those audio
recordings is: /Users/username/Documents/Soundtrack Pro Documents/Recordings/.
To change the recordings location:
m Choose Soundtrack Pro > Preferences > Recording, then click Choose to enter a
new location.
Collecting Media for a Project
When you save a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project, you have the option to collect the
associated audio and video files in one folder, alongside the multitrack project. You can
make these choices at the time you save a project, or in the Project tab in the Project
File Management section.
