Importing audio

• When importing multiple files at the same time, you can select to convert the
imported files automatically if necessary, i.
e. if the sample rate is different than
the project’s or the resolution is lower than the project setting.
NOTE
When you import 5-channel interleaved files that do not have the speaker
arrangement metadata (“BEXT”), Cubase always considers them as 5.0 format.
Use Settings
No Options dialog will appear when you import. Instead, you can select standard
actions from the list below the pop-up menu that are performed automatically each
time you import audio files:
Copy Files to Working Directory
If files are not already in the project’s audio folder, they are copied there
before being imported.
Convert and Copy to Project If Needed
If files are not already in the project’s audio folder, they are copied there
before being imported. Furthermore, if the files have a different sample rate or
a lower resolution than the project settings, they are automatically converted.
Importing audio CD tracks
You can import audio from audio CDs into Cubase projects in two ways:
• To import the CD tracks directly into project tracks, choose the “Audio CD…”
option from the Import submenu of the File menu.
The imported audio CD track(s) are inserted on the selected audio track(s) at
the project cursor position.
• To import the CD tracks into the Pool, select “Import Audio CD…” from the
Media menu.
This might be the preferred method if you want to import several CD tracks in
one go.
