Every single time I have a question about Reaper I find two things. The first being, 'can it do this?' And the answer is always yes. And the subsequent one, 'how do I get Reaper to do that?' And the answer is on this channel, every single time.

Thanks, Kenny. Much better for keeping stuff organized.

Kenny, your videos are invaluable. Thanks for creating them and helping us novices

Your tutorials are so valuable to me! A million thanks for sharing them!

[MaximumZargon]

As much as I love Reaper, some default behaviours are unfathomable. The folder organisation that Kenny describes here should be default. I can't see any reason that it isn't.

I'd never be able to learn Reaper if if wasn't for these tutorials, plus they're a pleasure to watch -- so well laid out and organized...

[LeonvanBokhorst]

With every one of your tutorials I fall deeper and deeper in love with this amazing DAW. 😍

My very first job a zillion years ago was secretarial and involved a lot of file management. File organization can be a beautiful thing and what you suggest is logical and clean. Thanks again for another perfect video!

[anthonybuckner]

I don't know how to thank you enough. Your videos have helped me immensely

Hi Kenny... your videos are great!!! ... however now that I'm working with Reaper 7 this file organization vid is a little long in the tooth. Granted the principles are virtually the same but the layout of the backup section in preferences has changed since three years ago. I would love it if you could revisit file organization... going through the setup with the newish Reaper 7 preferences window. Also would be great if you could spend some time walking us through how autosave works behind the scenes. I've seen Reaper Forum posts from folks such as IDDOD indicating that if you don't specify a file path for autosave it won't put the timestamped saves where you might expect. With Reaper 7 I currently have a situation where auto save will put several backups in the autosave folder (3 mins apart) then it just stops providing new saves... even when changes are made to a project. An in depth explainer on exactly how autosave is supposed to work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all you do for the Reaper community!

I had several days of utter frustration trying to work out what you shared in a clear easy to follow 11 minute video. You rock - I'm a follower!

[Christa-Das-music]

You are a dear music making companion Kenny bro. Thank you from the heart. May God bless you and those you love.

[rpgaleksy]

Lovely, this is going to make a huge change in my production and mixing workflow as I'm prone to keep dated backups for all music related stuff so project folders tended to end up incredibly messy.
Now everything is tidy and satisfying, thank you Kenny!

I just about had a meltdown because hours of work seemingly was gone because of moving some stuff. I should have watched this video when I first started using Reaper. Reaper 7 just came out and as far as I can tell a few things have changed location. (I'm new to Reaper though less that a month) so it might be time to do an updated version of this. However I believe I was able to find everything by searching a bit for it. I want to say Thank you so much for this video. I am no longer stressed trying to find my stuff in the folder and it is already way better. You got yourself a sub. You're appreciated! Thank you!

[haroldpalmer]

Thank you Kenny for your response. I appreciate all that you do for all of us.

[BLMeredith]

Thanks for this Kenny, when I was a Reaper newbie I found myself saving everything very messily now I'm overwhelmed with a bombsite, time to dedicate some time digging them all out and reorganising!

[ErnestoPossiSpanishVoiceOver]

This video is great because it will help me organize all my VO projects and not find a mess every time I look for something!

[robotjack]

Man, you make the most actually useful videos that I have found on Reaper. You focus on practical stuff and most other videos just don't. Thanks a lot!

[melissadsings]

omg! You just made my life so much easier!! I now have my peaks in a separate file so its easier to hunt down my takes to send to my producer!! Thank you Kenny, all the best
