Project save and autosave
You can save or save the project as a new file in the "File" menu, with the shortcut keys [Ctrl]+[S] (Windows) / [Command]+[S] (Mac) for "save" and shortcut keys [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[S] (Windows) / [Command]+[Shift]+[S] (Mac) for "save as".
During project startup, an automatic backup will be made every 10 seconds. The automatic backup will be cleared after a normal exit, but will be preserved in case of unexpected crashes. The ACE Studio will proactively ask if you want to open the backup project at the next launch.
Each time you save this project manually, a copy will be saved under this project folder “autosave”. This become a part of the project history, and you can restore a historic version from this folder.
Project file and project folder
The project will be saved as a folder in the specified directory, which includes:
- Project file *.acep
- "autosave" folder containing automatic backups during project startup and the last 10 historical manually saved backups.
- “Samples” folder containing all audio files generated from this project.
- You can move the audio files under this folder. If the original audio file path is lost when the project is restarted, ACE Studio will automatically look for it in the project directory. This also helps when sharing the whole folder to others.
Limits
