Default Folder arrangement (Audio, Song, Backup) as a default.

I wonder why Reaper doesn't set up the file organization folder, i.e., Song Folder> Audio Files, Song File, Backup (per all the video suggestions) as a default? It would make the learning curve for new users as lot less complicated and avoid a lot of research, mistakes, and questions, and seems like it would be a "best practice" arrangement. Is this a possibility in the future?

Coming from Sonar to Reaper, the whole process of set up and checking boxes and creating titles and paths under different tabs, for what I feel should probably be defaults, in addition to Save (and Save Recorded Items) menus popping up when one closes and opens projects and records, plus other distractions that are set as defaults and appear non-standard practice, are cumbersome for the new user and slow down the learning process and workflow. I know that once learned, having many options may be beneficial, but I think the majority of users would appreciate the standard-use setup as a default. What are your thoughts on this?

Default

much is configurable and once we get used it works really nice IMO
- subfolders for bak
- Audio files and Song files stay under project folder

my opinion tho.

Don't worry, once you configure it as you want, you forget about all the learning curve and enjoy
The defaults and learning curve is designed to force new users to learn and read the guide. It's clever.
