Track Offset Options
In the Import Session Data dialog, you can specify
a track offset in addition to any offset incurred with
the
Timecode Mapping Options. Any imported au-
dio is offset in the current session’s Timeline by
the specified amount. You can enter values in Min-
utes:Seconds, Bars|Beats, Samples, Timecode, or
Feet/Frames.
Sample Rate Conversion (SRC)
Options
In the Import Session Data dialog, you can set op-
tions that control how sample rate conversion is
applied to imported audio files. If the source ses-
sion and the current session have the same sample
rate, this portion of the dialog is unavailable.
The following
Sample Rate Conversion (SRC)
Options
are available:
Source Sample Rate For audio files created in any
session, no matter what the session sample rate is,
you can have the sample rate conversion process
treat the files in several ways to compensate for
pull up, pull down, and NTSC or PAL frame rates.
This setting allows you to choose the sample rate
from which you want the sample rate conversion
process to start.
Destination Sample Rate The destination sample
rate is always set to the sample rate of your current
session.
Conversion Quality This option lets you set the
quality of the sample-rate conversion process (see
“Sample Rate Conversion Quality” on page 338).
Source Tracks
This area of the Import Session Data dialog lists
the tracks in the source session that can be im-
ported, each with a corresponding pop-up menu.
Operation/Destination Track
Pop-Up Menus
In the Import Session Data dialog, each source
track has a corresponding pop-up menu that lists
options for importing the track as well as for pos-
sible destination tracks in the current session. The
pop-up menus display the following items:
Do Not Import Neither the source track nor any of
its attributes are imported.
Import as New Track The source track and all at-
tributes selected in the
Track Data to Import pop-up
menu are imported into a new track in the current
session.
Destination Track Names The names of possible
destination tracks in the current session are listed
at the bottom of the pop-up menu. Imported playl-
ists and all attributes selected in the
Track Data to
Import
pop-up menu will be placed in the destina-
tion track you select.
Only destination tracks that match the track type
(audio, Instrument, MIDI, Auxiliary Input, or
Master Fader) and the channel format (mono, ste-
reo, or any of the supported multichannel formats)
of the source track appear in the pop-up menu.
