The File > Import > Audio command lets you import Digital audio information stored in wave file
format into any track (or, for stereo, two tracks) of a project.
The File > Import > Audio command supports the following digital audio file types:
• Wave (extension .wav)
• MPEG (extensions .mpeg, .mpg, .mp2, and .mp3)
• Windows Media files (extension .wma)
• Apple AIFF (extensions .aif and .aiff)
• MS Streaming Format (extension .ams)
• Audio files (extensions .au and .snd)
The sampling rate for a project is set based on your default sampling rate. If the sampling rate from
the wave file does not match the sampling rate in your project, then it will be converted to the current
project’s sampling rate.
