Default Stupid Question of the day
I'm importing 24 tracks of WAV files into a new session from a thumb drive and want to put the files on the Glyph 4TB Studio Raid hard drive I use with my Macbook Pro. So far, the files show up in the session, but are only on the thumb drive and do not show up in the session when I remove the thumb drive. This has to be a simple thing to do, but I haven't figured it yet.

Can someone help me with this?

File Menu/Import Audio, choose copy not add.

Ah, Thanks very much. I knew it had to be simple! I manually dragged the WAV files into the Audio Files section and got it to work that way but will keep this in mind for the future!

For what it's worth, I did search but never did find that info in the pro tools help or the pro tools books I've got.

I think you'll find that keyboard shortcuts, combined with keyboard navigation of its dialog boxes will be FAR faster than mousing and dragging and dropping. It always is.
