Load audio file
Opens a dialog for loading audio files. Several files can be loaded
simultaneously. Just like with Windows Explorer, you can extend your selection
with "Ctrl" + click and select a series of files with "Shift + click".
Note: Due to peculiarities of the Windows Explorer, the line in the file selection
dialog is created from back to front. Therefore, if you click, for example, Track
1, Track 2, Track 3 (with Ctrl) one after the other, you will see "Track 3", "Track
2" and "Track 1" in the input line and they will also be loaded in this sequence.
Therefore, if you want to load several individual titles, you should select them in
the opposite order of how you want them to be arranged later in the project. If
you want to select multiple files in Explorer (via "Shift + click"), you should
proceed as follows: First, mark the last track of the list, then press "Shift" and
mark the first track of the list. If you click "Open", all tracks are in the correct
order in the VIP.
If a VIP is opened, new objects are created simultaneously on the selected
track in the VIP which refer to loaded audio files. If no area has been selected
in the VIP, the files are positioned after the last object with a pause of 2
seconds, otherwise to the start of the range. The pause can be changed in the
CD/DVD menu under "Automatic pause settings".
Each audio file can be previewed before it is loaded.
Attention: The preview function uses the standard output device of the
Windows multimedia system (as well as the system sounds). Many audio cards
mute the standard Windows MME sound system when the ASIO driver is in
use; in this case, an error message will be issued for the preview function. For
this reason, the preview function is by default deactivated during ASIO driver
use. However, it can be re-activated (options for loading audio files if you
select another audio device for your PC's multimedia functions, e.g. the
onboard sound available on all modern computers).
