I made a recording using a music track and a vocal track on my desktop. When I copy the project and try to open it on my laptop, I get a message that says a file can't be opened. When I search for the file by name it still will not work. I tried to copy the vocal track to start a new project with a previous recording, I can't get it to play. Please help? thanks

@Paul-Barrett8461 Did you copy all audio files to your second computer? Just copying the VIP project is not enough.

It is possible that I have the music track in a couple of different places. Will it matter where the file comes from or will it need to be the exact file path? How can I find the file path I used?

If you drag an audio file into a project you get a small window that asks you if you want to create a copy of this file in the project folder. This is a good idea if you want to move the project to a different hard drive. In this case you have all needed files in the same folder.
