Chapter 17: Importing and Exporting Session Data 341
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 compen-
sate 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 sam-
ple rate conversion process to start.
Destination Sample Rate The destination sample
rate is always set to the sample rate of your cur-
rent session.
Conversion Quality This option lets you set the
quality of the sample-rate conversion process
(see “Sample Rate Conversion Quality” on
page 323).
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
possible destination tracks in the current ses-
sion. 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. Im-
ported playlists and all attributes selected in the
Track Data to Import pop-up menu will be placed
in the destination track you select.
Only destination tracks that match the track
type (audio, Instrument, MIDI, Auxiliary Input,
or Master Fader) and the channel format (mono,
stereo, or any of the supported multichannel
formats) of the source track appear in the pop-
up menu.
Matching Tracks
In the Import Session Data dialog, you can make
sure track names match when you are importing
playlists from source tracks with the same name
as destination tracks in the current session (such
as a new cut of a scene). Click Matching Tracks to
automatically match the track names. Tracks
must have the same name, track type, and chan-
nel format to be automatically matched.
Track Data to Import
In the Import Session Data dialog, the Track Data
to Import pop-up menu is where you select which
attributes of the selected tracks you want to im-
port into the current session.
Selected attributes are applied to all tracks that
you choose to import into the current session.
Replacing Track Attributes
When you import an attribute of the source
track into an existing track in the current ses-
sion, it replaces the corresponding attribute in
the destination track. If you choose not to im-
port an attribute of the source track, the corre-
sponding attribute in the destination track is re-
tained.
