You are allowed one vote. 

Just viewing and agreeing but not clicking on the vote does not help the issue. 

Please click on one or the other. 

Answer 2

I would like to see this option as well.

It would be nice if you could permanently choose the folder your mixdowns go to instead of the song folder as well

Answer 3

This really is so annoying to always have to delete/rename mixdowns. If it is an issue of backwards compatibility, what about introducing a general option to switch between behaviours? This way, you could also track whether people use one or the other.

Answer 4

I really miss this feature since I switched from Cubase and Reaper to Studio One. Normally I export my mixdown to my DropBox directory so that I can later listen to it on the DropBox directory of my smartphone and set this file as offline available. Since I use Studio One I always have to select my DropBox path again before exporting, then have to delete the last exported mixdown, rename the new one to the name of the old one, and after that the new mixdown appears like a new file and I have again to mark it as offline available on my smartphone.

Answer 5

A checkbox would be nice to

[x] overwrite existing mixdown

Answer 6

I came here to post this same issue.

I come from Reaper where they use the same filename (which BTW, they wonderfully allow you to build your own default name using "wildcards" such as date, time, file type, project name, BPM, sample rate, bit depth, and many other parameters) and after you export, if it's the same filename, it asks if you want to overwrite before proceeding. How perfect. Now I won't have a bunch of old versions I don't need. Granted, it can be nice to have old versions and it's such a bad thing but it would be better to give up the option whether we want to collect all these and go back to delete them later or just not even deal with them at all--especially when you know 100% you have no need or intention to keep the previous export.

Answer 7

+1. Very annoying to have to delete the original file before exporting.
