Do you know how to change the Reaper settings so that when you want to open a Media file (.wav) it won't always go to its default folder (which is miles away from the folder where my songs are stored? In other words, how can you change the default folder?


There are a lot of Reaper Users here.

I can tell you that Reaper has little to no internal file management functions besides the "checkboxes" to move/copy files in the "Save as" dialog. If you didn't start the project in its own folder, you should use them first to create a folder and copy the files to that folder. Each project should be in its own folder! So when you drag and drop BIAB tracks you then need to follow this up with a "saveas" with the "move ckeckbox" checked.

Lots of videos showing BIAB and Reaper, but maybe not this specific function. Let me put a little something together so you can see it in action.

In the meantime, for you Reaperites:
