Regions Lists
All regions that are recorded, imported, or cre-
ated by editing appear in the Audio and MIDI
Regions Lists. Regions can be dragged from ei-
ther list to tracks and arranged in any order. Au-
dio regions can also be auditioned from the Re-
gions Lists by Option-clicking (Macintosh) or
Alt-clicking (Windows) the audio region name.
The Regions List pop-up menus provide many
useful features for managing regions and files
(such as sorting, selecting, importing, or export-
ing files).
Importing Audio
Pro Tools lets you import existing audio files
from disk, as well as import tracks from an audio
CD (Macintosh only). This is very useful if you
have audio files already recorded to disk or if
you are working with CD-based sample libraries
that you want to use in a new session.
To import audio files or regions from disk:
■ Choose File > Import Audio to Track to import
files and regions to new audio tracks (they will
also appear as regions in the Audio Regions List).
– or –
Choose Import Audio from the Audio Regions
List pop-up menu to import files and regions to
the Audio Regions List only.
To import a CD audio track (Pro Tools 6.0):
1 Insert an audio CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2 Choose Movie > Import Audio From Other
Movie.
3 Locate and select the audio track to be im-
ported, then click Open.
4 In the Track Import Window, click OK.
5 Navigate to a destination for the imported au-
dio, and click Choose.
Pro Tools converts the CD audio track to the ses-
sion’s audio file format, bit depth, and sample
rate, and saves it on your hard drive.
The imported audio file appears in the Audio Re-
gions List. From there you can drag the region to
a track in your session.
