Chapter 11 Adding Pre-Recorded Media 283
To add multiple audio files to your arrangement by dragging:
1 Shift-click contiguous files, or Command-click non-contiguous audio files in the Audio
Bin, Finder, or Browser.
2 Drag them to the desired Arrange area position, and release the mouse button.
Note: If adding files from the Audio Bin, you can also use the Audio File > Add File to
Arrange menu item. The playhead position determines where the first audio region is
created.
3 Select any of the following options shown in the Add Selected Files to Arrange dialog:
 Create new tracks: Creates new tracks (and audio channel strips) for each dragged
file.
 Use existing tracks: Sequentially places 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 area (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 one track: Does just this, with all files being placed sequentially (one
after the other) on the track they are dragged on.
 Copy audio file names to track names: Uses the file names to rename tracks. This
option is only available when used in conjunction with the “Create new tracks” and
“Use existing tracks” functions.
 Create new audio regions: Adds the files to the Arrange area, and creates a new audio
region for each. A numeric value will be appended to each audio region in the
Arrange area, and a new region will be created for each file in the Audio Bin. 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 Bin (and Arrange, if used).
