I'm wondering how people organize their project files, audio files, etc. when recording and editing.

I usually have the same folder for the entire project and I create sub-floders that usually are:
  • Audio Files --> contains the entire audio of the recording session
  • or --> contains the original/originals *.rpp files at the moment of the end of the recording session
  • scores --> contains all the scores with the editing notes in case I would need them
  • rendered --> contains the separated tracks of the project rendered in *.wav or mp3 as needed with the correct names and numbering (usually it contains two sub-folders HD and LOW)
  • DDP --> if needed will contain the entire ddp created by CC that doesn't need anything else than the sharing with the client\cd label
I record with the CC's internal backup solution so at the end of the recording session the Audio Files folder will be already mirrored! :idea:
The entire original folder stored in my local PC is synced and I create backups in two separated HDD and I use an online backup with Google Drive Service. I prefer not live syncing with google drive since it can create some problems with the intermediate state of the files. I hope everything is clear.
What do you think? Do you have any advice? What's your folder organization?
