"The first thing is you go to file, New Project. Sometimes you will have templates, now I have several different templates according to the different kinds of artists that I will be recording, R and B, rappers or whatever. So therefore, there are different layouts. But for the average user the first thing you?re going to do when you get it, is you?re going to start with an empty lay out. Select "Empty", then it will show you a directory on what you need to do now. What you need to do is you need to create a directory titled "Nuendo". After you create the new window directory, beneath that every time you start a new artist project you give the artist's project a folder. From that point on when you start recording the different artist's or projects that your doing, you start recording them in the folder. Ok so you select "Nuendo" in the directory, you create the folder, we are going to call this "Expert Village". Then you hit ok.
