Default I got a question about organizing a project

Hi, All!

For this question, let me use the example of the song 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat". As you know, doing it right, there are a few people that sing it.

When they do there are lots of WAV files that get created, especially if there are more than one vocal in a single project.

In the hypothetical case that there are three people, how would you organize all these vocal tracks (meaning how you organize your file folders) in order to keep better track of all these files?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions ......

Unless I've got something special going on I have just one folder per project for all my audio files. Extra folders are not needed or desired, keep everything simple, one folder.

Now there are many times I might be doing something special, and then use other folders, but that is not often and would only confuse the issue for you.

It's also important to name your tracks before recording! The track name determines the file name.
