There are several ways to importing an audio or MIDI file into a
2014-02-05 15:08:51 -05:00
session:

<ul>
2014-02-05 15:08:51 -05:00
<li><kbd class="menu">Session &gt; Import</kbd></li>
<li>Region List context menu: <kbd class="menu">Import To Region List</kbd></li>
<li>Track context menu: <kbd class="menu">Import Existing Media</kbd>
</li>
2013-01-29 19:26:36 -05:00
</ul>

<p>
These methods are all equivalent: they open the <a
href="@@import-dialog">Add Existing Media</a>
dialog.

Finally, you can also easily import files into your project by dragging
and dropping a file from some other application (e.g. your platform's
file manager). You can drag onto the
<dfn>Region List</dfn>, into the desired <dfn>track</dfn> or into empty
space in the editor track display.<br>
The file will be imported and copied
into your session, and placed at the position where the drag ended.
