176 Chapter 4 Audio in the Arrange Window

Multiple File Dragging

You can drag multiple audio files from the Audio window or a Finder window into the

Arrange window. To do so, simply rubber band contiguous files, or command-click non-

contiguous audio files in the Finder or Audio window, and drag them to the desired

Arrange window position. The following dialog will be launched:

• Create new tracks—creates new tracks for each dragged file, using the next available

Audio Object. As an example, if three audio files are dragged into the Arrange

window onto Track/Audio Object 4, three new audio tracks (Track/Objects 5, 6, and 7)

will be created, and the audio files will be placed onto these tracks (as Regions) at

the selected song position.

• Use existing tracks—will sequentially place the dragged files (as Regions) onto

existing tracks, starting with the currently selected track. As an example, if three

audio files are dragged into the Arrange window (where track 4 is selected), the first

file will be placed on track 4 and the following two files will be placed on tracks 5

and 6.

• Place all files on selected track—does just this, with all files being placed sequentially

on the desired track.

• Copy audio file names to track names—uses the file names to rename tracks, and is

only available for use with the Create new tracks and Use existing tracks functions.

• Create new audio regions—will add the desired files to the Arrange window, and will

create a new audio Region for each. A numeric value will be appended to each audio

Region in the Arrange window, and a new Region will be created for each file in the

Audio window. As an example, a Region called “folk-04” will become a new Region

called “folk-04.1”. The original Region will be retained in the Audio window (and

Arrange, if used).

Inserting Audio Files Using the Pencil Tool

Audio files can be inserted on Audio tracks by Shift-clicking at the desired Arrange

window position with the Pencil tool. A file selector appears, allowing you to select the

file that you wish to insert. The length of new Regions inserted in this way defaults to

the complete file length, which can be freely edited later.

Inserting Apple Loops

Apple Loops are special types of audio files. The insertion method for Apple Loops is

different to that of other audio file types. Further information can be found in the

Apple Loops section (see “Apple Loops” on page 72).
