[RWP] Migrating Project

[Patrick Perdue]

If your Reaper project has any associated media, open your project, then 
go to file, save as... Here, check the boxes that say "create 
sub-directory for project," and "copy all media into project directory, 
using..." or "move all media into project directory," which ever you 
prefer. If you keep the file name the same, Reaper will prompt that a 
file with this name already exists. Save it anyway. Reaper will now 
create a sub-directory and move anything relevant from this project 
there. Now, move the newly created directory containing your media and 
the associated project file. Do this whenever you add media to insure 
that everything is in one place for storage and/or transfer to another 
system later.

If all you have is a project with no associated media, and all plugins 
you used are common across both systems, you can just copy the project 
by itself.
