The file(s) you have imported will appear listed in your Region List. The Region List is located at the far right of the editor window. If you don't see it, make sure "*Show Editor List*" is checked under the "*View*" menu.
As mentioned earlier, the **Add existing media** dialogue also allows you
to import audio files directly onto tracks.
Choose **Add files: as new tracks** in order to automatically create
a new track and add the selected file to it. The track will be named
after the sound file name.
![Add as New Tracks](en/Ardour4_Add_As_New_Track.png)
If you have previously selected one or more tracks, the menu will display the
additional option **Add files: to selected tracks** in order to add a sound
file into the already existing selected track.
When adding files as new tracks, note that the **Mapping** options lets you choose between **one track per channel** or **one track per file**. For the purpose of this tutorial, choose **one track per file**, otherwise the left and right channels of a Stereo file will be split into two separate tracks.
#### Choose Insert Point
When using either one of the options above ("add as new track" or "add to selected tracks"),
you should also specify where in the track you want the
new Region to be placed. In the screenshot below, we are choosing
"*session start*".
![Insert At](en/Ardour4_Insert_At.png)
The Region appears in a new track in the session. The new track
automatically receives the name of the imported sound file.
The sound file will also appear in the Region List so that it can be
inserted into other tracks as well (drag and drop).
### Remove Regions from Tracks
To remove a region from a track, one can select it with the mouse and
use the *Cut* function from the menu, the *Control* (or *Apple*) key and
the *X* key, the *Delete* key or the key combination of *fn* and
*Backspace* (which is used, for example, on a laptop keyboard that does
not have a proper *Delete* key).

**Save your work often!** The shortcut "Control" + "S" is your friend. Use it a lot, all the time.
Now that you have some material in your session, you might want customizing the timeline to better suit your needs or jump to recording new material live.
