Import a Song from a CD

This section shows you how to import a track from a CD into a Pro Tools session. What we show you

here lets you import an entire song or individual tracks, as well as loops (beats, drum patterns, or

other pre-recorded musical building blocks) that you can use to build compositions from scratch. You

can even use this capability to import a song you just finished so that you can jam along, edit it into

a loop to use for another composition, or to further process it to “master” your project.

To create a new session:

1 Do one of the following:

• If you already have a session open, choose File > Close. Now choose File > New Session. In the

New Session dialog, choose Create Blank Session, then click OK.

• If you just launched Pro Tools and the Quick Start dialog appears, select Create Blank Session,

then click OK.

2 In the Name the Session dialog, choose where you want to save the session, and then name it and

click Save.

3 After Pro Tools opens the new session, choose Window > Edit so the Edit window is displayed. It will

look something like this:

To import a song from CD:

1 Put the source CD into your computer’s CD/DVD drive.

2 In Pro Tools, choose Window > Workspace to open the Workspace browser.

Pro Tools has a powerful feature called Elastic Audio. Elastic Audio can change the speed of audio

without changing pitch or change the pitch of a track without changing its speed. This is very handy

for learning or transcribing riffs and solos. For more information, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
