I didn't understand the question about Pt 1 and Pt 2 either.

Some DAWs require the use of the drop box as a holding area. Some DAWs require that the files stay there, but for others (SONAR is an example), the file is fully transferred and the holding area files may be deleted.

BIABGuy, to help, we would need to know what DAW you are using, and the exact steps you are following. What did it do, and what did you expect it to do at each stage.
