Pool

Every time that you record on an audio track, a file is created on your hard disk. A reference to this file, a clip, is added to the Pool.

The following rules apply to the Pool:

• All audio and video clips that belong to a project are listed in the Pool.

• Every project has a separate Pool.

The way the Pool displays folders and their contents is similar to the way the File Explorer/Mac OS Finder display folders and file lists. In the Pool, you can perform operations that affect files on disk and operations that only affect clips.

Operations That Affect Files

• Importing clips (audio files can automatically be copied and/or converted)

• Converting file formats

• Renaming clips (this also renames the referenced files on disk) and regions

• Deleting clips

• Preparing file archives for backup

• Minimizing files

Operations That Affect Clips

• Copying clips

• Auditioning clips

• Organizing clips

• Applying audio processing to clips

• Saving or importing complete Pool files
