How Do I save project to second drive?
I spent plenty of money building a pc for my studio. I have two hard drives in my pc with 2048 meg of ram. I read that it was better to have my software on one hard drive and my music tracks on another. How can I make Sonar 6 Prod. automatically save my music files to the other hard drive E.

you should have your projects already going to a 2nd drive. If you dont, you need to change it in the global options. In the meantime. just do a "save as" and save it to the drive. You should be using per project folders with CWP folders also.

What are the per project folders with CWP folders? I have used the save as function. I should change that in Global functions.
Thanks.

Their Cakewalk project folders. There alot better than bundles, bundles or CWB files are the old way of saving projects. Theres a checkbox at the bottom options//gloabal//audio data. Check it and then go into the folder menu and change the location of the project files to your 2nd drive. Your going to see a performance increase doing it this way and its the preferred way to go.
Good luck

I have gone in the global options and clicked the folders tab and changed the project files to my other hard drive "e".
Do I also need to go to the tab that says audio data and change the setting on the global audio folder too?

CJ is right. By using Per Project Folders, Sonar will save the Project File (containing MIDI, and pointers to the audio clips, along with track settings etc) and the Audio Clips in a directory under each Project Folder. If you don't set Per Project Folders Sonar by default install will store all of your audio in the same huge folder. See my diagram below of the symbolic difference:  Hope this helps. -D

But do I still change the tab under audio data. My software is on c drive and my other hard drive is e. Do I change the area under all projects where you see the global audio folder too?

Hardy:
(BTW Nice Guitar Collection!) The changes we are describing will only affect subsequent projects. If you already have projects that you are working on or have been completed, you only need to do a SAVE / AS and if you have configured Sonar to use Per Project Folders, Sonar will construct the audio folder under your project folder and aggregate all of the proper audio clips into the audio folder. Create a few test projects and try the Save As command, you'll find it quite intuitive.

i just use CWB files. having individual files littered all over my hard drive (CWP files) is unworkable. i can't take a snapshot unless i zip it, and if i unzip and old one, i screw up the current state. that idiotic "clean audio data" is likely to erase some wav i really really need. and if i every want to go back to some point, i'm screwed because i'm working in a linear fashion. sonar often crashes when running some VST plugin or synth which often screws up any open wav files. also, i often create 2 or 3 different versions of the same song, so keeping track of the amount of folders needed for such a process is overwhemling
