Importing an Audio File
Metro offers a variety of methods of MIDI and digital audio recording, including linear, partial track, punch-in and step-entry modes. Metro's arrangement features facilitate linear or nonlinear section-based arrangements. This section of the tutorial focuses on recording and editing a linear multitrack arrangement.
Lets start out by constructing some tracks around an existing drum loop sample that was saved in AIFF format.
To import an audio file:
- Choose Import Audio File from under the File menu.
- Locate the folder called Drum Sounds folder and open the file named Drum Loop 120.AIFF.
- Click the Convert button to import the file into the active Section.
The next step in your first session is Looping a Track.
