Track Data to be Imported

Events and Parts

Imports events and parts.

Note

• If the imported track contains track versions, the track versions are also imported.

• If events or parts are imported to an existing track, a new track version is created.

On Import on Existing Tracks

• Replace All Events and Parts

  Replaces all existing events and parts on the target tracks with the imported audio data.

• Add Events and Parts

  Adds the imported events and parts to the existing audio on the target tracks.

• Create a New Track Version

  Creates new track versions.

Note

When importing on existing tracks, existing track versions in the active project are maintained, and track versions of the source project are added.

Import Position

• Absolute Position

  Places imported track data at its original timecode position in your active project.

• Relative Position

  Places imported track data relative to the start time of your active project, taking the start time of the source project into account.

  For example, if the source project starts at timecode 01:00:00:00, with an event located at 02:00:00:00, and if the active project starts at 02:00:00:00, the imported event is placed at timecode 03:00:00:00.

• Cursor Position

  Places imported track data relative to the cursor position in your active project, taking the start time of the source project into account.

  For example, if the source project starts at timecode 01:00:00:00, with an event located at 02:00:00:00, and if the cursor in your active project is located at 02:00:00:00, the imported event is placed at timecode 03:00:00:00.

Note

• If the start time of your active project is after the position of imported track data in the source project, the imported data is not visible in the active project after importing. In this case, you must adjust the start time of the active project accordingly.

• If the end time of your active project is before the end time of the imported track data, the end time of your project is modified accordingly.

• If you have selected a signature track for import, Import at Cursor Position is not available.

Range

Allows you to specify a range to be imported into the source project. If this option is activated, only track data within this range is imported. Use Locators allows you to set the Range values for the left and right locator positions, respectively.

Channel and Inspector Settings

Imports all track settings, such as volume, panning, EQ, channel strip and Inspector settings, output routing, sends, cues, VCA connections, and plug-ins.

Note

The track settings for read/write automation status, record enable, monitor, muting/soloing, and visibility are not imported from other projects.

Automation

Imports all automation data that is related to the imported track data.

Note

If this option is deactivated when importing events or settings to an existing track, its automation data is reset.

Import Position for New Tracks

• Below Selected Track

  Places imported tracks below the track that is selected in the track list.

• Bottom of Track List

  Places imported tracks at the bottom of the track list.

Project Settings

Source Project/Active Project

Shows the file name, the sample rate, the frame rate, and the project start time for both the imported tracks and your active project.

Note

Imported tracks may contain media files with a sample rate that differs from the sample rate of your destination project. Files with a sample rate different from the one of the destination project play back at a wrong speed and pitch.

Media Files

Copy to Active Project Folder

Copies the media files of the imported tracks to your active project folder. If this option is deactivated, the media file path of the original project is referenced.

Convert Sample Rate

Converts the sample rate of the imported tracks to the sample rate of your active project.

Note

This option is available only if the sample rates of the imported tracks and of your active project differ, with Copy to Active Project Folder activated.
