There are several ways to importing an audio or MIDI file into a session:
These methods are all equivalent: they open the Add Existing Media 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

Region List, into the desired track or into empty
space in the editor track display.
The file will be imported and copied
into your session, and placed at the position where the drag ended.
