19 – 384 The Audio Montage
Once you have added the desired clips from an audio file, you don’t need to
have the original Wave window open. Should you need to edit the original
(source) audio file, you can access it from the clip speed menu, as described
in the section “Editing source files” on page 442 (any editing done to the
source audio file is immediately reflected in all clips referring to the file).
By dragging from the Files view
This way, you can add clips without having Wave windows open:
1. Select the Files view by clicking the Files tab.
2. Click the System tab to the left of the display.
The view now shows a file navigation environment, similar to the Windows Explorer.
3. Pull down the Files view : Browser menu and make sure that “Show audio
files” is selected.
4. Use the left pane to locate and open the folder containing the audio files
you want to import.
The contents of the folder are shown in the right pane.
5. Locate the desired audio file(s) and drag them to a Montage track.
If you are dragging a single file, a pop-up menu appears, allowing you to select one of the
Insert options. If several audio files are dragged, the Insert audio files dialog appears, allow-
ing you to specify how the files should be ordered and whether they all should be placed on
one single track or separate tracks – see “The Insert options” on page 388.
By dragging regions from the Files view
If you have defined marker regions in a wave file (not regions in a Mon-
tage), you can drag these regions directly from the Files view onto a Mon-
tage track:
1. Open the Files view and select the System tab.
2. Select the folder containing the source file in the left pane.
The content of the folder is shown in the middle pane.
