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.
