Adding and Removing Project Audio Files
The Audio Bin acts as a central repository for all audio files added to the project,
whether or not they are used in the Arrange area. This is useful for keeping all takes
associated with the project in one location, even if not all are actually used in the final
production.
All audio file addition methods covered above will automatically place the files in the
Audio Bin. For methods that add files directly to the Arrange area, a region associated
with the file is automatically created in the Audio Bin.
The Audio Bin also provides facilities that allow you to add files to your project (into the
Audio Bin), and from the Audio Bin into the Arrange area.
To use the Browser or Finder to add audio files to your project:
1 Shift-click contiguous files, or Command-click non-contiguous audio files in the Finder
or Browser.
2 Drag them into the Audio Bin, and release the mouse button.
Note: If adding files from the Browser, you can also choose Add Selected Audio File to
Bin in the action menu.
To use the Audio Bin to add one or more files to your project:
1 Choose Audio File > Add Audio File (or use the Add Audio File key command).
The Audio Bin file selector box opens.
2 Browse to, and select, an audio file.
You may audition it by clicking the Play button.
3 Click the Add button.
The file is shown in the file view area below.
