Good course by Dave Earl on recording and organising projects with folders in Logic Pro. Although folders are less essential these days with Track Stacks, they still have the uses.

All about organization in Logic. Big arrangements (or just OCD)? Use use folders to keep everything in its place. Also, use colors to help identify instrument groups, etc.

Now I know how to create takes without cluttering up my workspace. Very handy. Thank you. Folders are a great tool for keeping large orchestral arrangements and mixes neat and organized.

After watching 'Producing with folders' I reorganised all my big projects the way David explained so very clearly. What a relief. I also will use the folder strategy when I start recording the vocals. I feel organised and in control.

I've been following SFLogicNinja's stuff for a couple of years now on Youtube and have always found any of his tutorials to be exceptionally clear, informative, and delivered with an enjoyably casual yet clearly incredibly knowledgeable air. This tutorial is no exception, and will likely cause me to completely re-think (in particular) how I've organized my large orchestral template, using Folders. My only suggestion to David Earl: do more tutorials on MacProVideo! :-)

The guy knows his stuff. I've heard some of his other tips on YouTube as SFLogicNinja. He has a coaxing manner which I like. I would rather go through one fully structured video like this than piece together the info from random clips. Rating is 4 because I never give 5 to anything.
