How do I give my recordings and exported tracks useful names?

Use two levels of context

A browser tab title often describes a whole project, service or episode. That is a useful starting point, but it rarely identifies the exact take you captured. A recording name such as “Launch video — voiceover options” gives the session context; track names such as “Opening, warm read” and “Opening, shorter read” explain the files inside it.

This is particularly useful when collecting several short takes. Naming them while you still remember the difference saves you from replaying every file later. Keep a separate note for source links, permissions or detailed timestamps if your project needs them; a filename is not a complete production log.

Name the session and its parts

1. Click Stop & save and open the take in the studio. The overall recording name can be edited after recording has stopped.
2. Click the large title at the top. Type a useful session name, then press Enter or click outside it to save. Escape cancels the edit; leaving the title blank keeps its last saved name.
3. Check the splits and preview the tracks. Click a track’s name, type its label, and press Enter or leave the field. A blank track name returns to a default such as “Track 1”.
4. Choose the export format and click Export for each track. Renaming the recording adds that name to new track-export filenames, while preserving explicit track titles.
5. Use Save original if you also want the whole browser take under its recording name. Check the downloaded files before sharing them.

What happens when you change the splits?

Track names follow points in the audio rather than simply staying attached to list positions. If you merge two named portions, the merged track uses the earliest named portion. Restoring the split brings its saved names back. Even so, preview and check the visible labels after a substantial settings change.

Duplicate recording names remain separate recordings; numbered suffixes distinguish them in the sidebar and export filenames. Track exports also have numbered prefixes. Unsafe filename characters are replaced, and very long names may be shortened, so keep the meaningful information near the beginning.

Renaming affects local metadata and future downloads. It does not rewrite audio you already exported, rename existing files on disk or promise embedded artist, album or ID3 tags. See how to review the split suggestions before final naming, then use the backup workflow to move the finished files somewhere durable.
