How to Stop Cubase From Saving Projects in "Untitled" Folders

Very helpful - such a simple thing and yet I kept overlooking it! Thanks, M8!

Is there a way to set the default save operation so that it names the folder what the project itself is named? I see a very old thread from 2011 asking about this, but it seems that back then there was a ‘save as’ window that allowed you to specify the folder name. In CBP 10 ‘save as’ doesn’t bring up any such option, it simply brings up the directory window within an ‘untitled-’ folder…

When you start Cubase, look at the Hub and then select “Prompt for Project Location.” This will prevent a new project from being created in a folder named “Untitled.”

I tend to keep my starter or draft projects in a Monthly Folder. For a more involved project, I set up the project folder in a dedicated project Directory (Folder) on the hard drive. Moving projects around with Archive and Backup can be tricky.

Good luck.
