Difference between Save and Export

[David Moores]

In Cakewalk, what's the difference between these two?

Export will of course save the file to your chosen destination, and Save does so in your Cakewalk projects folder.
Welcome to the forum.

There is more to it than specifying where the files are written.

Both can write anywhere the DAW has permission.

Save is used to write projects and its associated files to disk most often for use in the DAW. 

Export is usually performed to create files intended for other programs.

I use export to produce the end product MP3 song that I can put on my phone, send to friends or upload to Napster.?
