Importing Elastic Audio from
DigiBase to the Clip List
With the Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo
option enabled, dragging and dropping tick-based
audio from DigiBase browsers to the Clip List (or
to the Track List), creates two separate clips in the
Clip List. The first is a sample-based whole file
clip and the second is a tick-based copy of the same
clip.
Importing Tempo from
Tick-Based Audio
If there are no tracks in the session, and you import
a tick-based audio file to the Clip List, Track List,
or empty space in the Edit window, you are
prompted to either import the tempo from the file
or use the default session tempo. To keep the de-
fault session tempo, and have the loop conform to
the session tempo, click
Don’t Import.
If the session already contains at least one track
(regardless of track type), you are not prompted to
import the tempo from the file and the file is con-
formed to the session tempo.
Importing Audio Files and
Clips Using the Import Audio
