I have a main folder called "music-files". Under that folder I have folders: "Projects", "Mixdowns" and "Masters".

Under "Projects" I have folders for each year going back to 2009, and under each year folder I have a separate folder for each song I did that year. Each song folder has all the individual WAV files produced from BIAB, my guitar tracks, the vocal tracks, and sometimes the notebook file with the lyrics.
Before I started using the year folders I dumped each song folder directly under "projects", amazing how quick that got to the point where it was hard to find stuff.

The "Mixdown" folder gets the un-mastered mixes that I produce with reaper (I like to keep the mix process and the master process as two separate things although I could do it all in one shot with reaper, works best for me).

The "Masters" folder has a sub folder, "MP3". When I master a track, the input file comes from the Mixdown directory, and the mastered WAV file goes to the Masters directory. I also produce an MP3 (for uploading to sites that require MP3) that goes to the MP3 sub folder.

Likewise for the main \bb directory I have the BIAB songs organized under sub folders by year. When I render out the individual WAV files from a BIAB project, the WAV files go to one of the song file folders described above.

Works for me anyway smile
