4 Browse to, and select, another audio file, and click the Add button.
5 Repeat the process until all desired files are in the file view area.
6 If you accidentally add a file, select it in the file view area, and click the Remove button.
Note: You can also add all files in a folder by selecting the folder and clicking the Add
All button. If you accidentally add all files from the wrong folder, press the Remove All
button to remove them from the list. This does not remove them from the hard disk.
7 Click Done to add the selected files to the Audio Bin.
Note: Files that have already been added to the Audio Bin are dimmed, and can not be
selected. This helps to avoid confusion, and duplication.
To remove one or more files from the current project:
1 Select the file names in the Audio Bin
2 Press Backspace.
This deletes the file from the project, but not from the hard disk.
The only way that you can totally remove an audio file from a project is in the Audio
Bin. Removing an audio region in the Arrange (Eraser tool, pressing Backspace) does
not remove it from the project—it merely removes the reference to the audio file.
A Note on Importing Compressed Audio Files
Logic Pro allows you to directly play back the following compressed audio file formats:
 AAC
 Compression format: MPEG4 AAC
 Sample rates: 8 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 12 kHz, 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,
48 kHz, 64 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz
 MP3
 44.1 kHz files
 Stereo files encoded at 48 or higher kbps, mono files encoded at 32 or more kbps
 iTunes/Logic encoded files
 Apple Lossless files
These files are not automatically converted when imported into Logic Pro. The
compressed audio file is added to the Arrange area, and a region that encompasses the
complete audio file is created. You can edit this region in the same fashion as a normal
audio region in the Arrange area: You can cut it, loop it, rename it, and so on.
Warning: Take extreme care when using the Audio File > Delete File(s) command (or
key command, default: Control-Backspace). This not only deletes the selected file
from the project, but also from the hard disk! Deleted audio files are moved to the
Trash—where they remain until you empty the Trash.
