Hi Steve, There are probably a few ways of doing this, each with its own ramifications. If you have the vocal in another session and just want to import one section, it's probably easiest to open that other session and bounce the section offline, name it something memorable and import it into the current session. I'd recommend pasting the file into the Audio Files folder to begin with as otherwise the audio file will simply be referenced and, if it's part of a completely different session, you'll lose it if that folder is deleted. If it's all part of the same session and you simply saved the session file under a different name, that's not necessary.
Importing session data works as well and you can eventually delete the new track without worries as long as you've checked the options to import clips and media. Either way, with importing session data or importing audio to a new track, you'll have to delete the superfluous track. At least with imported audio, you're only adding a small file to your Audio Files folder. One thing you might consider in the future is to work on a copy of the playlist. In other words, when you have a vocal, duplicate the playlist and work on the original or duplicate, whichever you prefer, and you'll always have an original to go back to in case you need to copy a section from the original. Hope that helps, Slau On Mar 14, 2016, at 9:22 AM, Steve Sparrow <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey guys. can anyone tell me the best way to import a small section of a file > from one session in to another session.
