How Do I Change The Project Audio Folder?

[La Banda Oculta]

I have found the workaround. 

1- close the cakewalk
2- go to the project folder where the audio files are currently located
3- select all, cut
4- go to the folder you want to use as audio data
5- paste the files
6- start the Cakewalk, open the project, it will say "where are my files?!?!?!?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
7- select the folder you chose in step 4, but say "Make a reference"
8- open the project, the audio files will be there, then save the project, close the cakewalk
9- go back to your project folder (the one in step 2), delete the folder
10- open the cakewalk again, open the project again, it will say "the project folder doesnt exist, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! want to create it?", say NO. It will offer now to select the audio folder, select the folder in step 4, save the project. DONE
11- to make sure you got it right do
   11-1- play the project, work fine? layer 1 passed
   11-2- in cakewalk, go to main menu Project --> Audio Files, confirm that the file show in the new location, worked? layer 2 passed
   11-3- Now, record something in this condition, the file will be saved in the folder you wanted. Worked? passed layer 3

With the project open:

1. Do a "save as" to the new location. Makes sure "copy audio with project" is checked

2. Play the project. If it's ok go to 3

3. Delete the original project.

Step 1 will also only copy the audio tracks currently referenced by the  project so this is a very convenient way to clean up the project folder
