Import audio file(s) to an open Audio Clip
It’s also possible to import audio files to open Audio Clips in the Comp Editor in the sequencer. Proceed as follows:
1. Open the Audio Clip you wish to import the audio file(s) to in the Comp Editor.
2. Select “Import Audio File...” from the File menu, or hold down [Ctrl]+[Shift](Win) or [Cmd]+[Option](Mac) and
press [I].
The “Import Audio File” function gets browser focus.
3. Browse and select the audio file(s) you want to import.
D You can also import samples from the Song Samples location in the Browser.
! If you select REX files, these will be rendered to audio when importing. The Song Tempo and any Tempo Auto-
mation starting at the Clip position will also be taken into account.
4. Click “Import” to import the selected audio file(s).
The audio file(s) will be imported as new recordings on new Comp Rows. The Comp Row(s) for the imported audio
file(s) will be named “<filename.extension> (Imported)” where <filename.extension> is the name of the imported
audio file with the appropriate extension.
Depending on if you selected one or several audio files, the following will happen:
• If you selected a single audio file, it will end up on the topmost Comp Row in the audio clip.
• If you selected several audio files, the first selected file will end up on the topmost Comp Row.
D You can also drag one or several audio files from the Browser and drop it/them in the Comp Row area in the
Comp Editor.
The audio files will then be imported to new separate Comp Rows in the Comp Editor. The horizontal divider indi-
cates where the new Comp Row(s) will be inserted and the vertical divider indicates where the audio will begin. If
Snap is active in the sequencer, this will be taken into consideration:
A + sign and a horizontal and a vertical divider indicate where in the Comp Row area the imported audio file(s) will be placed.
q If you like, you could now edit the Audio Clip and comp the recordings on the different Comp Rows according
to the description in “Creating a comped audio clip”.
