Whether or not you're already in the habit of working remotely, it's important to have solid file management practices.

It's not the most exciting topic, but it is important! Being consistent on every project with where files are located, and where Pro Tools is looking for them, will help your sessions to run more smoothly and make your deliverables efficient and reliable.

We asked sound artist Matt Yocum (Pet Sematary, The Cloverfield Paradox) to break down some of his go-to file management techniques to achieve an optimal workflow from home and demystify how Pro Tools uses files in a session.

In the long run, file management it will save you time (money), and help your reputation working with others – you don't want to be embarrassed showing your work with missing links or files. And sometimes you have to re-open a project years later, so having an organized folder structure is crucial.
