If the audio name stays the same, it can be updated on the AB64
without having to change the show. If you want to change the audio
file name, the procedure is:

1. Load in the new audio file. (It is automatically assigned an
arbitrary selection number that you don't need to worry about.)

2. In the show editor, bring up the Find panel (command-F), type in
the old audio file name, and click on 'Select All'. All commands
(events) in the show that use that audio file name are selected.

3. Press return to bring up the command editor window. Change the
audio file name in the editor to the new name and press update. All
selected commands are updated.

That's it. When the show is saved in the editor, all the selection
numbers are assigned based on the file names / selection numbers in
the current audio directory and then the new show is sent to the AB64.

... Just wondering why that is? Don't you just back up the show using the tools in ABEdit, and then import the project into a new computer or use the same...

Richard, What you say is true only if you are the only one programming shows on a single AB. If you're pre-programming for a box already in use for another ...

... What if one is still using ABEdit? This is all just for my own personal information anyway, as I don't have an AB64, so none of this applies, but I do like...
