Save Project on new PC

[GIM Productions]

Hi everyone, I'd like some clarification on saving projects in Studio One 7.
I've watched the tutorials and read the manual on saving a project .Song, but I wanted to ask, if I need to replace my PC, if I save the folder where I have all my Studio One projects and then transfer it to the new hard drive, will I be able to reopen the projects without any problems?
In the folder I indicated for the projects, there are subfolders (projects, templates, etc.). Will I be able to find the audio clips from the projects?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, but you also need to install all the plug-ins and Sound Sets that are used in the songs, otherwise they will be missing when you open the song on the new computer.

Each song should have its own folder. The audio files you recorded in Studio One are located in a subfolder of the song folder.

One thing to remember: When you import audio files from outside your song folder into your song, it depends on your settings if Studio One automatically copies an imported file to the song folder. If you don't copy these "external" files to your new computer, it might be missing as well. To make sure you have all the files you need in your song folder, right-click in your pool in the Browser and choose "Copy External Files."

Hi Lukas, thanks for your reply. Yes, the 2025 folder contains the subfolders of the projects I created in Studio One, including the media folders. So, I should be able to find everything by copying the main folder and then telling Studio One where to find the projects.
For the plugins and settings, I'll be sure to reinstall everything that's part of the projects.

Yes.

I recommend backing up and copying the whole "Studio One" folder (that contains your songs and projects and presets) to the new computer. In case you have any custom presets, macros etc.
