To add an audio file to your arrangement by dragging µ Drag the file directly onto an audio track in the Arrange area from either the Browser, Loop Browser, or the Finder. You can drag audio files onto all track types, but playback is only possible on audio tracks.

An audio track and corresponding channel strip are automatically created, and an audio region (that is the full length of the file) is placed on the track. In addition, the file is added to the Audio Bin, and the corresponding region is automatically created. To add multiple audio files to your arrangement by dragging 1 Shift-click contiguous files, or Command-click noncontiguous audio files in the Audio Bin, Finder, or Browser. 2 Drag them to the Arrange area position, and release the mouse button. Note: If adding files from the Audio Bin, you can also use the Audio File > Add File to Arrange menu item. The playhead position determines where the first audio region is created. 3 Select any of the following options shown in the Add Selected Files to Arrange dialog: • Create new tracks: Creates new tracks (and audio channel strips) for each dragged file. • Use existing tracks: Sequentially places the dragged files (as regions) onto existing tracks, starting with the currently selected track. For example, if three audio files are dragged into the Arrange area (where track 4 is selected), the first file is placed on track 4, and the following two files are placed on tracks 5 and 6. • Place all files on one track: All files are placed sequentially (one after the other) on the track they are dragged to.
