Where Does Qtractor Store Sessions and Settings?
Qtractor saves sessions as .qtr files wherever you put them, with app settings in the rncbc.org config folder.
Last updated
Qtractor keeps projects as .qtr session files at paths you choose on save. Audio clips referenced by the session stay in their own folders, not inside the file. Application preferences live separately in the rncbc.org config tree.
Sessions stay portable when audio sits beside the .qtr file in one folder. Absolute clip paths break on moves, so prefer relative layouts per project. Templates for new sessions save into the same config area.
Where Qtractor stores this, by platform
~/.config/rncbc.org/Qtractor.conf
App preferences and recent sessions list. Session .qtr files live at their save paths. Keep audio beside the session for portable moves.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move a Qtractor project?
Copy the .qtr file with its audio folder intact. Relative clip paths survive while absolute ones break. Re link missing clips from the clip list.
Where are Qtractor templates?
Saved through the app into the config area beside preferences. Template sessions seed track layouts for new work. Share them as plain .qtr files.
