Understanding the file and folder system

When inspiration strikes and you’re in the mood to create your next hit, you can just go with the flow and bring in material from all kinds of different sources – grab an audio file from an earlier project, use a loop that’s on an external drive, extract audio from a YouTube video to use as a sample, you name it.
