The following Audio Media Options are available in the Import Session Data dialog:
This option lets you avoid duplicating audio files by referring to the original files when possible. If the source files do not reside on supported playback media (such as a CDs or DVDs), or if they require bit depth or sample rate conversion, the source files are copied instead. This option allows the current session to refer to files that do not match the current session’s audio file format.
This option copies all audio files related to the imported tracks from the source media to a new specified location, and converts the files to the current session’s audio file format, bit depth, and sample rate if necessary. This is useful if you are importing tracks from a source such as CD or DVDs or shared storage, and you want to place the audio files on a different hard drive.
This option consolidates audio while copying it. This is useful if you want to copy only the clips of the audio files used in the source tracks, without copying unused audio. This option copies and converts consolidated audio to the current session’s audio file format, bit depth, and sample rate if necessary.
When you choose this option, you can also choose the Handle Size (in milliseconds) applied to consolidated audio. Handle is the amount of the original audio file that is preserved before and after each clip in case you need to make any edits (such as applying fades or trimming) to the new clips.
