Working with objects in the VIP
Loading an audio file into a VIP object
Method 1: Loading a file into a VIP
Mark a range in the VIP and load the wave file with "File -> Open project -> Audio
file". The file is inserted at the beginning of the selected range as an object. The range also denotes the
track into which the wave file is inserted.
Method 2: Drag & drop from Windows Explorer
Open Windows Explorer and arrange the Explorer and Samplitude Music Studio 15 windows so that
both are at hand. Access the audio file in Explorer that you would like to use, and then simply drag it
over into Samplitude Music Studio 15 while holding down the mouse button.
Load ranges from wave projects into the VIP

Open a wave project.

Mark the range which is to be incorporated into a virtual project.

Create a new virtual project with "File -> New multitrack project" ("E") or with the
corresponding button in the toolbar.

Tile the open windows by pressing enter.

Drag the selected range in the wave project into the virtual project by clicking the left mouse
button into the range and then dragging it into a VIP track.

A new object is created in the VIP at the position the mouse button was released.
Accessing audio material in an object

Select any object.

In the object menu, select "Destructive editing". The same menu option is available from the
context sensitive menu by right clicking on the object.

This opens the corresponding wave project window. The marked range represents the audio
material that is used in the VIP object.
Selecting an object with the Mouse
Clicking the left mouse button selects the desired object.
Prerequisite for this is the selection of the correct mouse mode: Object mode, object & curve mode, and
universal tool mode all offer this functionality. In the universal tool mode, the object is selected by clicking
on the lower half of the object.
The five handles on the outline of the objects identify any selection of objects. While the mouse button is
held down the outline of the object is displayed.
Clicking the mouse button outside of the object deselects the object.
Moving and duplicating objects
Once one or several objects have been selected, they can be shifted vertically (by track number) and
horizontally (in the timeline) while holding the left mouse button. As soon as you let go of the left mouse
button, the object will be placed at the current position.
If several objects have been selected in different tracks, the selected group can be moved vertically only
so far that all objects remain within the tracks.
If "Shift" is pressed when moving the objects, the time position is retained and you can only change the
track.
