Change project folder in pool

FYI for those that get their project files scattered by Cubase… Basically, if you don’t see an “Audio” folder in your project folder, then Cubase has written one somewhere else. If the path isn’t too long you can see it by looking at Project menu, Pool.

What I am doing to fix it…

This will work if you only have one version of your project in the project folder (not multiple Cubase Project .cpr files). If that is not the case, you will have to do this for each of the project files that you want to reference the audio pool in your actual project folder.

  1. Rename the project folder of interest with an underscore at the end.
  2. Create a new folder with the same name as the project folder, minus the underscore. Of course, you can make it a different name if you like.
  3. Go into the underscore folder and open the cpr file for your project, which opens it in Cubase.
  4. Cubase will ask for the project folder. Specify the same underscore folder (as in step 1) from which you just opened the project file.
  5. In Cubase, under File menu, choose “Back up Project”.
  6. Select the newly created folder you made in step 2. Cubase will save the project there, including the Audio Pool folder for the project.

Again, THIS SHOULDN’T BE NECESSARY.
