Logic Express updates the path information for all open projects that use a given audio
file. This makes projects easier to manage when moving audio files. After you move files
to a new location, save each open project to update all audio file storage references.

Warning:

Be very careful when using this function as files are removed from their original

location. Other projects may use the same audio files. This can lead to you being
prompted to search for the files that were moved when opening other projects (see

Finding and Replacing Orphaned Audio Files

).

Copying or Converting Audio Files

You can create copies of audio files in a different hard disk (or other storage medium)
location. The source files remain in their original storage location (unlike the behavior
when the Move File(s) function is used).

To copy or convert audio files in the Audio Bin

1

Select the file or files.

Note: You cannot use this command to convert compressed multi-channel files (AAC,
ALAC, MP3).

2

Choose Audio File > Copy/Convert File(s) in the Audio Bin (or Control-click the Audio Bin
or use the corresponding key command).
