Chapter 24 Managing Audio Files 565
Copying or Converting Audio Files
You can create copies of audio files in a different hard disk (or other storage medium)
location. The source files remain in their original storage location, unlike the Move
File(s) function discussed above.
To copy or convert audio files in the Audio Bin:
1 Select the desired file or files.
Note: You can not use this command to convert compressed multi-channel files (AAC,
ALAC, MP3).
2 Choose Audio File > Copy/Convert File(s) in the Audio Bin.
3 Choose the desired settings in the Save A Copy As dialog:
You can set the desired sample rate, bit depth, file format, stereo conversion, and dither
type for the destination file.
4 Browse to, and choose the target folder for the new audio files. You may also create a
new folder, by clicking the New Folder button.
5 If you’re only copying one file, you can enter a name for the new audio file. When
simultaneously copying several audio files, existing file names are used for the copies
derived from them. The Hide Extension checkbox hides or shows file extensions (wav,
aif, and so on) in the Save As field.
6 Click the Change file reference in Bin option to replace the audio file used in the
project with the copied file.
If unchecked, both the copy and original audio file are shown in the Audio Bin (the
original is still used for any regions).
7 Click the Save button.
