On Import Audio Files Settings
You can set up standard settings that are performed automatically each time you import audio
les.
● When you import audio les and Use Settings is activated in the On Import Audio Files
section of the Preferences dialog (Editing—Audio page), the settings are used for importing
audio.
Copy File to Project Folder/Copy All Files to Project Folder
Copies the audio le to the Audio folder of the project, and has the clip refer to the
copy.
Deactivate this option to have the clip refer to the original le in the original location.
In this case, it is marked as
“external” in the Pool.
Convert to Project Settings/Convert to Project Settings and Copy to Project Folder If
Needed
Converts the imported le if the sample rate or the bit depth differ from the settings
in the
Project Setup dialog. For single le import, you can choose which properties are
converted.
Split Channels
Splits stereo or multi-channel audio les into a corresponding number of mono les,
one for each channel, and copies the imported les to the Audio folder of the project.
The split les are inserted into the project and into the Pool as separate mono tracks.
The Name Format pop-up menu allows you to specify how the split les are named.
This allows for compatibility with other products when exchanging audio
les.
