How to keep your Cubase projects organised with Groups and Folders

It can be easy to get lost in big projects if you’re not keeping organised. Fortunately, Cubase comes equipped with some visualisation and categorising features to keep everything in check. Get to grips with Folders and Groups, and you’ll have a much smoother time navigating your session.

In this Cubase tutorial, Bruce Aisher shows you how to create Folders and Group tracks within Cubase. You’ll learn why these organisational tools can aid your workflow and how they can be used to manage multiple elements of your session. You’ll also learn how Folders and Groups behave in the mixer and arrangement windows.
