I've tried to look up this question but, to be honest, I get more confused by the answers. It's me.........I know.
I understand that the Reaper Media file in my documents folder............and the Reaper file in the Windows Programs File folder contain most of the backup data I need should my laptop or Reaper fail. However...........neither one seems to contain any Media Item I might have used as part of a Reaper project. Am I missing it?
When I pull a media item into a track, for instance, and then move that media file from where it was when I pulled it into the track...........re-opening the Reaper project prompts Reaper to ask where that file went. So that tells me that I need to back up any media item files used as well. I don't keep them in one place. They could be anywhere in my laptop. For instance........when I transfer my Tascam DP-24 wav files to Reaper, they come from a Tascam backup file I keep. So..........how do I insure that any media item files T use in a Reaper project get saved? When I save a Reaper project I'd like everything used to go into one place for backup purposes.
Sorry if this question is confusing. I'm 100% sure there's a SIMPLE answer that I've got a mental block over.............and I know you guys will clear it up for me.
