Project Management

Keeping your projects organised and safely stored is critical for a smooth Audiocube workflow.
All project-level tasks - New, Save, Load, Quit, Settings - live under the File menu (first icon, top-left).

File-Menu Commands & Shortcuts

Menu Item	Shortcut	What it Does
New Project	Ctrl + N	Start a blank scene. Unsaved work will be lost.
Save	Ctrl + S	Overwrite the current .audiocube file.
Save As…	Ctrl + Shift + S	Name the project and pick a location (creates a new file).
Open	Ctrl + O	Open the Project Browser to load projects.
Settings	Ctrl + ,	Opens global preferences (audio device, theme, etc.).
Quit	Ctrl + Q	Exit Audiocube—be sure to save first.

Default Save Locations

OS	Path
Windows	`C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\NFK\Audiocube\Saves`
macOS	`/Users/<User>/Library/Application Support/NFK/Audiocube/Saves`

Click 📂 Open Folder in any Save As or Load dialog to jump straight to the directory in your file browser.

Custom Locations
Console: set-project-folder <path> to pick a new root, or use-default-folder to revert.
GUI: Settings ▶ Project Folder does the same without the console.

What’s in a .audiocube File?

Device data – type, position, connections, per-device settings
Mixer & Mastering settings
Timeline & automation
Acoustic & visual preferences
All the information to reload your saved project.

Important The file does not embed your audio clips; it references them by path.
If you move or rename a sample outside the Library, Audiocube will prompt to relink it on load.

Best-Practice Checklist

Save early, save often (Ctrl + S).
Use Save As before drastic experiments - keep a safety version.
Back-up the entire Saves folder (and your Audio Library) when migrating PCs.
Use the console command open-folder default to locate the project directory fast.
Before quitting a live-recording session, stop the Master Recorder; unsaved takes are lost on exit.

Follow these guidelines and your Audiocube sessions will stay organised, portable, and crash-proof - ready for the next stage of production.
