How to Create a New Project in Cubase from a Standard Project
Assuming you have created a Standard Project in Cubase, create your new Cubase project as folows:
- Create a new project folder. Call it Cubase-NewProjectName where NewProjectName can be the name of your composition. ex: \Cubase-NewProjectName or \Cubase-Blues-in-Eminor-no-1
- Start up Cubase
- In Cubase open the Standard Project. Select File->Open and navigate to the Standard Project folder and select the Standard Project (ex: Cubase-StandardProject-2022v1.cpr). Once Cubase has finished opening the project, save the Standard Project to the new project folder. Select File->Backup Project... and navigate to the new project folder and Select it. Leave the default values in the displayed dialog box and hit OK. Cubase will create the following in the new project folder: - \Audio subfolder - \Images subfolder - a file called Cubase-StandardProject-2022v1.cpr
- Close the Standard Project. Select File->Close
- Open the Standard Project in the new project folder. Select File->Open. Navigate to the new project folder and open the Standard Project (ex: Cubase-StandardProject-2022v1.cpr)
- Save the project under the new folder name. Select File->Save As... Navigate to the new project folder and save the project under the new name (ex: Cubase-NewProjectName .cpr) You now have two projects in your project folder. The Standard Project and the new project. You can delete the Standard Project file since you don't need it anymore.
- Adjust the number of tracks that you need for the new project. You can simply delete extra tracks or leave them for later use depending on your preference.
- Check the individual channel strip settings. Modify them as required.
ex: save project as Cubase-Blues-in-Eminor-no-1.cpr in \Cubase-Blues-in-Eminor-no-1 folder
Note, you may find that the file names that I have suggested are rather long and cumbersome but you'll be able to find things later on when you work with multiple projects (new and old) and multiple versions of each. Better to set thing up at the beginning rather when things get out of hand.
