Adding media files from the Explorer window
You can use the Explorer window, which operates similarly to the Windows® Explorer, to locate media files for use in projects.
Display the Explorer, if needed, by choosing Explorer from the View menu, or by pressing Alt+1.
There are three ways to add media files from the Explorer window:
• Double-click the desired file.
• Drag the file from the Explorer to the timeline or track list. Dragging a file from the Explorer to the track name of an existing
track allows you to replace the original file with the new file, while all events remain in place.
• Right-click and drag a file to the timeline or track list to specify the type of media or clip to be created. When you drop the file,
a shortcut menu appears that allows you to choose whether to treat the file as a loop, one-shot, Beatmapped track, or as an
autodetected type.
