Pro Tools Reference Guide124
In the import list, audio files are distin-
guished from regions by their icons.
Also indicated in the import list is whether
Pro Tools will use “Add” or “Convert & Im-
port” for the file or region. The latter im-
ports a copy of the audio file or region.
7 To import any recently opened audio
files or regions, choose them from the Files
menu at the top of the Convert & Import
dialog. This places them directly into the
import list.
8 To remove a file or region from the im-
port list, select it and click Remove. To re-
move all items in the import list, click
Remove All.
9 Once the audio files and regions have
been added to the import list on the right,
click Done.
Each of the files and regions from the im-
port list are imported into their own audio
track, and also appear as regions in the Au-
dio Regions List.
If importing copies of any audio files or re-
gions, or if some files need to be converted,
specify a destination for the new files.
To import audio into the Audio Regions List:

gions List pop-up menu.

port list on the right, select it and click Re-
