Page 45

To open an audio file project or other single audio file in the File Editor project view, do one of the following:

mDouble-click a file in the Browser, Search, or Favorites tab.

mOpen a file from Final Cut Pro or another audio application.

Note: A single file from a multitrack project also appears in the File Editor project view when you double-click that file in the Timeline.

To save an audio file project or other single audio file:

1Choose File > Save.

A Save dialog appears.

2Enter a name for your file in the Save As field and define where to save it using the Where pop-up menu.

3Choose a file type for saving your audio file project and select any other applicable options.

ÂBit Depth: Choose between 8-bit and 32-bit integer or floating point bit rate.

ÂSample Rate: Choose between 32,000 and 192,000 Hz.

ÂDither: Reduces quantization errors in low-level audio signals, such as the end of a fade-out or the last trailing moments of a reverb effect. Dithering is useful when saving a project at a lower bit depth or sample rate.

ÂInclude Source Audio: Includes a copy of the source audio files in the audio file project. Not selecting the checkbox includes a link to, instead of a copy of, the original source audio.

Note: If you don’t select the Include Source Audio checkbox, the original audio file is not saved as part of the project file and your project will not play unless the original file is available in its original location.
