Just looking for a bit of advice please,
I might be having a complete brain fart day but I just opened an old track I was playing around with and there is a wav loop I used and I have no idea where it is buried in my many many folders on my hard drive as I want to explore other samples in that location.
I just need the file name but cannot find it in song samples in the track and cannot find the name of the wav in the arrangement.
I'm sure I'm missing something really simple and will probably slap my forehead when someone gives the answer.
Thankings for the advice :thumbup:

It's one of the imho missing features in Reason. Either there should be a way to generate a complete list of all samples used in a song or each imported audio clip should at least have the clip label automatically set to its file name. Sadly neither seems to be implemented, yet.

Reason embeds all the imported/recorded audio into the project file, which makes it invisible outside of Reason. Having worked for years in ProTools and Logic, I can't imagine ever doing a recorded-audio project in Reason, it's a bit of a joke frankly.

If the loop is audio in the Sequencer you can got into Comp Edit mode and it will show the name of the original file. If the loop is in the Rack you can go to File > Show Self-Contain Settings to see sample names.

Fantastic! Thanks :clap:
I'd tried looking in the slice and edit modes and gave up..always the last place you look.
As others have said Reason's relation to audio files is a bit odd and something that needs addressing really.
