Starting a New Project – IMPORTANT
The following steps are VERY important in order to keep your projects organized and cause less problems for you down the line. We want to make sure that your audio files will be copied into the session directory that you are using, keeping each project contained and easier to colaborate with others.
- Make a new project if its not made automatically. When you start Reaper it opens your last session by default, if no session exists it will make a new, unsaved session.

If done correctly all your audio files will now be stored in a folder next to your project. This will keep all your projects organized and make it less possible to lose important audio files.
