To Import an Audio File

Import Audio CD Tracks dialog

The File-Import-Audio CD command opens the Import Audio CD Tracks

dialog. Use this command to import an audio CD track (extension .cda) into

your project.

The Import Audio CD Tracks dialog has the following controls:

• Track List—the main area of the window is the track list. Each track

represents an audio track located on the CD. The tracks are

automatically named and numbered in order. Any number of CD

Tracks can be selected for importing.

• Source Drive—the Source Drive specifies the CD device containing the

tracks to import. The program attempts to locate all CD devices

available. Click the arrow next to the drive letter to refresh the Source

Drive. This process will verify if an Audio CD has been inserted into the

drive. Once the Audio CD has been verified, the available track list will

appear in the window after a few moments.

• Import Bit Depth—Audio Tracks on a CD always have a bit depth of 16,

but you can choose to import the tracks at a higher bit depth if desired.

• Play—when a single track is selected, it can be auditioned by pressing

the Play button. Once playback begins the button is renamed to Stop,

so that the audition can be manually terminated.

• OK—imports the selected tracks. For each track selected, an Audio

track is created in the project.

• Cancel—closes the dialog without performing any action.
