MANAGERS 127
To the right in the file manager, the current directory may be added or deleted as a favorite
to your favorite list. Click a favorite to open it.
Underneath the favorites list a selection menu can be found with a list of paths used last.
Here you can switch into the current project folder.
Preview audio files
Press the "Play" icon in the file manager to preview a selected audio file. In contrast, every
highlighted audio file is played immediately if the “Autoplay” box is checked. A complete list
can be previewed simply by using the cursor keys. Clicking the play button again stops
continuous playback. The fader symbol can be used to control the volume.
Playback is not routed through the mixer or internal effects. For playback, the audio device
selected in the playback parameters (shortcut: "P") will be used. This can be an MME,
WDM, or ASIO device. If no playback occurs, first check that the routing settings for this
device are correct.
The option BPM sync enables the selected loop to be previewed in the VIP's tempo (see
below).
Looped preview enables the selected file to be previewed in a loop (see below)
Note: To preview certain media data, e.g. in WMA format, you have to convert these files
to .Wav format. Conversion is carried out automatically in the background.
Load files from the file manager into projects
Media files can be inserted into an opened project at the desired play cursor position via
drag & drop or by double clicking. If the file browser list is in the foreground, pressing
“Enter” produces the same result.
The keyboard shortcut "Alt + Enter" can be used to add the selected file to its own track in
the arrangement. The track created will be named after the file.
If an audio file is dragged from the clip list and dropped into an empty space or into the title
bar of the program window, it is opened in wave project view.
