    Study Notes

    Lesson 6: Import, Export, and Recording

    • This lesson explores new methods for recording, importing, and exporting audio, expanding on session interoperability.
    • Duration: 1 hour
    • Goals:
      • Learn new workflows for audio import/export.
      • Search for audio clips using tags.
      • Use audio libraries.
      • Explore session interoperability.

    More Ways to Import Audio

    • Traditional import methods: Import Audio dialog box, Workspace Browser, file browser.
    • New variations are introduced.
    • Creating New Tracks While Importing:
      • Holding Shift while dragging from a browser (Pro Tools or file browser) into the track area creates new tracks (1 per audio file), even if importing into a non-empty area.

      • Files with different sample rates from the session will be converted to the session's sample rate.
      • Unsupported formats will also be converted.
      • One track is created per imported file, and each file appears in the Clips List.
      • Sufficient tracks of the correct type and width must be available to import stereo audio files.

    Exporting Clips

    • Clips can be exported as new audio files.
    • Plugin processing and mix automation are not included in the exported clip.
    • This is useful for rendering parts of a session for other projects.
