OK, Matt. I’ll give you that different DAWs might handle the dragged WAV files differently. (I only use Mixcraft.)

But … BiaB handles the dragging its way (which is to store them under the \BB structure). BTW, I did find a setting to change this but it did not work (several versions ago).

And so, even if one particular sequencer doesn’t need to reach out to get a particular wav file each time a project is opened, there is a possibility that the human user might want to. And if it was created in BiaB USB hard drive ver. 2012B and one is now using Ver 2014, that wav file is long gone.

So, let me phrase it this way then …

IMHO, it is a good best practice to store all elements of projects together within their own file structure and not on the BiaB USB hard drive.

How’s that? wink - Mark
