Hello Essentia,

To import an audio file into DP 4.5 it is best to use the SOUNDBITES window. Using this window one can import .aiff, .SDII, .WAV or .mp3 files.

1.) Open a session in DP 4.5.
2.) Load a new (empty) track that is the same as the track you wish to load. (mono or stereo - 16 or
24 bit)
3.) Go to the PROJECT pull down window up top.
4.) Find SOUNDBITES and click on it.
5.) The SOUNDBITES window will appear. Go to the menue in the upper left of the SOUNDBITES
window and find IMPORT AUDIO.
6.) Click on IMPORT AUDIO and a dialog will appear. Find the audio file you wish to import and click
OPEN.
7.) This will result in the audio file appearing in the SOUNDBITES list.
8.) Using the icon on the far left of the title, drag the sound file to the open track you loaded in #2.
9.) Edit and loop your brains out.

Hope this helps,
