When selected, this option applies to all newly imported WAV files, making them compliant with the AES31/EBU Broadcast standard.
When selected, all audio files that are imported by dragging and dropping are copied to the current session’s Audio Files folder, regardless of whether the files need to be converted to the current session’s file type, bit depth or sample rate. Additionally, when selected, the
Copy from Source Media option is automatically enabled in the Import Session Data dialog. The
Automatically Copy Files on Import preference does not affect the
Import Audio command.
When selected, files that have different file formats from the current session file format are copied and converted to the current session audio file format on import. For example, if the session file format is WAV and you import an AIF, the files is copied and converted to WAV on import. When this option is not selected, copied files retain their original format (unless that file format is incompatible with Pro Tools, in which case it must be converted).
When selected, files with different sample rates than the session sample rate are not automatically converted when imported into the session. This means that files with mis-matched sample rates playback at a different speed (and pitch transpositions than when they were originally recorded (or converted).
When selected, REX flies are imported as clip groups, all the underlying slices are imported as individual clips contained within the clip group. When this option is not selected, importing REX files into a session converts them to the session’s audio file format, the individual slices are consolidated, and the slice information is used for Elastic Audio analysis. These files remain tick-based after import and conversion.
When selected, crossfades are applied automatically to the sliced clips within clip groups created by importing REX files. If the
Import REX Files as Clip Groups option is not selected, the
Automatically Create Fades option is not available.
To change the default fade settings for REX files, click the REX button in the Default Fade Settings section on the Editing Preferences page.
The Drag and Drop From Desktop Conforms to Session Tempo options determine whether or not REX, ACID, and audio files are imported as tick-based Elastic Audio and conformed to the session tempo.
When enabled, REX and ACID files, and all other audio files are not conformed to the session tempo when imported by drag and drop from Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder. They are imported as sample-based files and converted to the sessions audio file format.
When enabled, only REX and ACID files are conformed to the session tempo when imported by drag and drop from Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder. REX files are imported either as tick-based Elastic Audio or, if the
Import REX Files as Clip Groups option is enabled, as tick-based clip groups.
When enabled, all audio files (including REX and ACID files) imported by drag and drop from Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder are imported as tick-based Elastic Audio and conform to the session tempo.
The Sample Rate Conversion Quality pop-up menu lets you select the default sample rate conversion quality for importing audio files by drag and drop from any DigiBase browser, or Windows Explorer or Mac Finder. The higher the quality of sample rate conversion you select, the longer Pro Tools will take to process the audio file.
