Hi Slau, I tried the exact same procedure in a different session, which had only 3 tracks, and it worked perfectly, so is there anything that might explain why it doesn’t work on this particular session, or any tweak I might try to get it to work?

Selecting the file and pressing Done is not enough. If you’re getting to the dialog that asks where to import then it stands to reason that you’re doing the aforementioned correctly. Also, you’re sure that the track radio button is definitely selected? I’ve never encountered any problem with this functionality. Let me know.

While in the dialogue, the file plays when I choose ‘start preview’, and it is listed in the table as being selected. When I press OK, in the destination dialogue, there is no error message; it just returns to the edit window, but there is no new track. This is in a session with 16 tracks plus a master. I’ve done this before quite a few times, and usually, the new track shows up straight away in the track list table. Any other ideas as to what may be going wrong?

It explains everything pretty clearly. For now, however, what you’re doing is exactly right. If the Track radio button is selected, you should see a new track appear in the session. If you have selection chosen in the pop-up, I believe the clip should appear at the point shown in the Start field of the Edit window. Did you try tabbing in that track? By default, after importing, I’d imagine the clip would be selected in the timeline so the edit selection range should correspond to the new clip length. as a test, however, try pressing Return first (to get to the beginning of the timeline and then press Tab to jump to the beginning of the clip. As an alternative, you can try importing the clip to the session start instead. See if that works. If it does, You can simply select the clip, cut it and then paste it into the location you want in the timeline. Hope that helps. Keep us posted. best, Slau On Sep 2, 2016, at 8:17 AM, Peter Bosher <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi All, I know we’ve been here before, and I’ve had it working in the past, but I’m completely stuck at the moment so please do help if you can. I need to import a wav file into a session at the current selection on the timeline. I go to import audio with command-shift-I, pick the file I need, choose ‘Add’, then Done. This gives me destination choices where I pick New Track, and ‘Selection’ as the location, then OK. It simply doesn’t show up. What have I missed? I find that first dialogue quite confusing. We have ‘add’, ‘add all’, ‘copy’, ‘copy all’, ‘open’ and ‘done’. If you could explain what those all do, and what is the correct sequence for importing just one file, that would be wonderful.
