Importing Audio CDs in the Pool
You can import tracks or sections of tracks from an audio CD directly into the Pool.
This opens a dialog in which you can specify which tracks are copied from the CD,
converted to audio files, and added to the Pool.
• To import an audio CD to the Pool, select Media > Import Audio CD.

Import Options Dialog
When you select a file in the Import Medium dialog and click Open, the Import
Options dialog opens.
Copy File to Working Directory
If this option is activated, the file is copied to the Audio folder of the project,
and the clip refers to this copy.
If the option is deactivated, the clip refers to the original file in the original
location and will be marked as “external” in the Pool.
Convert to Project
If you are importing a single audio file, you can convert the sample rate
provided that the sample rate is different than the one set for the project. You
can also convert the sample size provided that the sample size is lower than
the record format that is used in the project.
If you are importing several audio files at once, the Import Options dialog
contains a Convert and Copy to Project if needed checkbox instead. When
this option is activated, the imported files will be converted only if the sample
rate is different or if the sample size is lower than the project sample size.
Please, don’t ask again
If this option is activated, files will always be imported according to the
settings that you have made, without this dialog appearing. This can be reset
in the Preferences dialog (Editing > Audio).
NOTE
You can also convert files later with the Convert Files or Conform Files options.
