Adding Pre-existing Material

There are several ways to importing an audio or MIDI file into a session:

• Main menu: [Session > Import]{.kbd .menu}

• Region List context menu: [Import To Region List]{.kbd .menu}

• Track context menu: [Import Existing Media]{.kbd .menu}

These methods are all equivalent: they open the Add Existing Media dialog.

Finally, files can also easily be imported into a project by dragging and dropping a file from some other application (e.g. the system’s file manager). Files can either be dragged onto the [Region List]{.dfn}, into the desired [track]{.dfn} or into an empty space in the editor track display.

The file will be imported and copied into the session, and placed at the position where the drag ended.
