Use Settings

No Options dialog will appear when you import. Instead, you can select standard actions from the list below the pop-up menu that are performed automatically each time you import audio files:

Copy Files to Working Directory

If files are not already in the project’s audio folder, they are copied there before being imported.

Convert and Copy to Project If Needed

If files are not already in the project’s audio folder, they are copied there before being imported. Furthermore, if the files have a different sample rate or a lower resolution than the project settings, they are automatically converted.

Split channels/Split multi-channel files

Activate this option to split stereo or multi-channel audio files into a corresponding number of mono files – one for each channel. Note that if you use this option, the imported files are always copied to the Audio folder of the project’s working directory.

If you import files using the Import option on the File menu, the split files are inserted into the project and into the Pool as separate mono tracks.

If you import the files using the Import Medium option on the Media menu, the split files are only inserted into the Pool.

In all cases, the “Split File Name Format” pop-up menu lets you specify how the split files are named. This allows for compatibility with other products when exchanging audio files and avoids confusion if the source file contains no stereo or surround material, but poly-mono audio.
