A Region can be an entire
|
||
sound file or a portion of it. Here you will learn how to import audio files
|
||
from the hard drive of your computer so they can be used in your Ardour session.</p><p>To import an audio file into your session, you will use the <em>Add Existing Media</em>
|
||
dialog. Use the shortcut <strong>Ctrl+I</strong> to get to this window, or alternatively go
|
||
to the <code>Session > Import</code> menu).</p><p>On the left side of this dialog you will see a file browser which allows you to
|
||
search your hard drive for appropriate sound files to add (preferably, start
|
||
with a common file format, such as WAV or AIFF).</p><p><img src=en/ardour7-add-existing-media.png alt="Add Media"></p><p>At the lower left corner there is a menu which indicates how these files will
|
||
be added. <em>Add files… as new tracks</em> will import audio files and place them on
|
||
a newly created track. <em>Add files… to source list</em> will simply import audio
|
||
files into the Sources list, without creating any new tracks. Choose this
|
||
option now, as we don’t want Ardour to create any tracks at this point. Make
|
||
sure the <em>Mapping</em> options says <em>one region per file</em>.</p><p><img src=en/ardour7-to-source-list.png alt="Add to source list"></p><div class="notices tip"><p>If you do not have any suitable audio files on your hard drive to follow these
|
||
steps, visit <a href=http://www.freesound.org/>freesound.org</a>), where you can find a
|
||
large collection of Public Domain and Creative Commons–licensed samples in a
|
||
variety of sample rates and formats.</p></div><p>On the right side of the <em>Add Existing Media</em> dialog you will see a section
|
||
allowing you to inspect the properties of the file you selected. Here you will
|
||
see the name, number of channels, sample rate, format and length of the sound
|
||
file, along with any tags you have chosen to add to the file.</p><p>The <strong>Play</strong> button allows you to preview the file. You can also select
|
||
<strong>Auto-play</strong> if you would like to hear a sound file immediately as soon as you
|
||
click on it in the file browser (without having to push the Play button).</p><p>You will notice that the option <em>Copy files to session</em> is checked by default.
|
||
This will make a copy of the imported file(s) into the folder of the current
|
||
session. This is safer, but it uses more disk space. If you uncheck this option
|
||
(not recommended!), Ardour will use the sound file from its current location on
|
||
the hard drive. In this case, if the file is moved to a new location on the hard
|
||
drive, you will run into trouble, because Ardour won’t be able to find it the
|
||
next time you open this session. <strong>It is highly recommended that you leave this
|
||
box checked (<em>Copy files to session</em>)</strong>.</p><p>Click <strong>OK</strong> to proceed.</p><div class="notices tip"><p>The file(s) you have imported will appear listed in your <em>Sources</em> list. This
|
||
list is located at the far right of the editor window. If you don’t see it,
|
||
make sure <em>Show Editor List</em> is checked under the <em>View</em> menu.</p></div><p><img src=en/ardour7-audio-imported-to-sources-list.png alt="Editor List"></p><p>By dragging and dropping an audio file listed on the <em>Sources</em> list onto the
|
||
main canvas, you can insert it in an existing or new track. If you drag it into
|
||
an existing track, it will be added there. If you drag onto the empty space
|
||
beneath existing tracks, a new track will be automatically created to
|
||
accommodate it.</p><p>Release the mouse button to complete the drag-and-drop operation. A new region
|
||
will be inserted at the exact time point where you dropped it.</p><div class="notices tip"><p>If a sound file is selected in the Editor List (i.e., if it is highlighted in
|
||
blue), the next time you click on that file name, Ardour will think you are
|
||
trying to rename the region (the name will become editable). More likely you
|
||
were just trying to click to drag and drop the file onto a track. In order to
|
||
click and drag a previously <em>highlighted</em> region from the list, you need to
|
||
point and click in the empty space right before or after the name.</p></div><p>Important: always make sure you are placing stereo regions on stereo tracks. If
|
||
you drag a stereo file onto a mono audio track, only the left channel will be
|
||
used. In the screenshot below, a stereo file with very distinct left and right
|
||
channels was dragged onto a stereo track and a nono track. Notice that in the
|
||

|
||
audio files directly onto tracks.</p><p>Choose <em>Add files… as new tracks</em> to automatically create a new track and add
|
||
the selected file to it. The track will be named after the sound file name.</p><p><img src=en/ardour7-import-as-new-tracks.png alt="Add as New Tracks"></p><p>If you have previously selected one or more tracks, the menu will display the
|
||
additional option <em>Add files… to selected tracks</em> to add a sound file into the
|
||
already existing selected track.</p><p>When adding files as new tracks, note that the <em>Mapping</em> options lets you choose
|
||
between <em>one track per channel</em> and <em>one track per file</em>. For the purpose of
|
||
this tutorial, choose <em>one track per file</em>, otherwise the left and right
|
||
channels of a stereo file will be split into two separate tracks.</p><h4 id=choose-insert-point>Choose Insert Point</h4><p>When using either one of the options above (<em>add as new track</em> or <em>add to
|
||
selected tracks</em>), you should also specify where in the track you want the new
|
||
region to be placed. In the screenshot below, we are choosing <em>session start</em>.</p><p><img src=en/ardour7-insert-point-list.png alt="Insert At"></p><p>The region appears in a new track in the session. The new track automatically
|
||
receives the name of the imported sound file.</p><p>The sound file will also appear in the <em>Regions</em> list so that it can be inserted
|
||
into other tracks as well by dragging and dropping it.</p><h3 id=remove-regions-from-tracks>Remove Regions from Tracks</h3><p>To remove a region from a track, you can select it with the mouse and use the
|
||
<em>Cut</em> function from the menu, the <strong>Control</strong> (or <strong>Apple</strong>) key and the <strong>X</strong>
|
||
key, the <strong>Delete</strong> key or the key combination of <strong>Fn + Backspace</strong> (which is
|
||
used, for example, on a laptop keyboard that does not have a proper <strong>Delete</strong>
|
||
key).</p><div class="notices warning"><p><strong>Save your work often!</strong> The shortcut <strong>Control + S</strong> is your friend. Use it
|

a lot, all the time.</p></div><h2 id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>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.</p><p>Next: <a href=../setting-up-the-timeline>Setting up the timeline</a> or
