While backing up my work I noticed mine is 5gb. I thought this was quite large for a select few tracks.
So how big is yours?

5.75 gb. strictly flp files, no sample wavs. represents about 135 finished and probably 50 or so unfinished tracks.

Two project folders > Active/Finished , contain FLP files and the occasional zlp if Im using samples from parts of my library I rearrange alot (EDM Drums is a very vague folder after its 3 yrs old and not subdirectoried)... 1.9gigs, I clean often here, so I can process 320s/label shit fast when they arrise.
The other one is horrendous, its where my self indulgent artistic hippy side is spewn forth accross 32.1 gigs of (mostly) drum patterns, melodies, half started tunes, butchered glitched sounds, strange shit I find playing with synths, basically anytihng I come accross in my daw that catches my ear, I have a habit of edisoning it in 16bit to save a bit of room. Bad habit.

Only about 250mb if you're counting Cubase project files alone but the whole folder (including samples used in said tracks) equates to about 50Gb :3
