PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [129/307] Using audio files from the pool

File Management in the Pool Tab

[Right]/[Ctrl]-click in the Pool Browser window to select from the following commands:

Rename File Rename the file associated with the currently selected Clip.

Locate File Locate a file for the currently selected Clip (e.g., to find a missing file).

Show in Explorer/Finder Open the file location for the currently selected Clip in Windows Explorer/Mac Finder.

Select on Track Select any Events associated with the currently selected Clip in the Arrange view.

Remove from Pool Remove the currently selected Clip from the Pool. This does not delete the file.

Delete File Permanently Permanently delete the file associated with the currently selected Clip.

Delete Attachments Permanently delete any attachments associated with the currently selected Clip.

Convert Files Convert selected files in the Pool to the current Song’s sample rate and bit depth. The Convert

Files menu appears, with file options. A new file is created for each selected file, replacing the original file in the

Pool. The original file is retained in the current Song’s Media folder.

Refresh Refresh the contents list of the Pool to reflect the current state of your Song and computer.

Locate Missing Files If any files are missing in your Song—usually this occurs because the files were moved—

use this command to locate the missing files.

Remove Unused Files Remove any Clips from the Pool that are not currently used in the Song. This does not

delete the files.

Show Media Folder in Explorer/Finder Open the Media Folder for the current Song in Windows Explorer or

the Mac Finder.

Using Audio Files from the Pool

The audio Clip associated with any Event in your Song is always available in the Pool, regardless of whether the Events

associated with that Clip remain in the Arrange view of the Song. This means that the original state of a Clip with which an

Event is associated can be quickly restored by loading it directly from the Pool.

Click-and-drag any Clip or video from the Pool into the Arrange view, as you would when importing any file from the

Browser.

Some audio clips in the Pool show an attachment icon:

Music Loops imported to Tracks show the musical performance as an attachment.

Audio clips with transformed Event FX show the original Event as an attachment.

Audio clips edited with Melodyne show the detected notes as an attachment.

Files with attachments are marked with a paper clip icon. Click the triangle button to the left of a file to display all

attachments. Attachments can be dragged separately into the Arrangement, or deleted using the Delete command in the

[Right]/[Ctrl]-click contextual menu. Note that no undo is possible after deleting an Attachment, so before doing so, please

ensure that the files you delete are no longer needed elsewhere.

Importing Audio Files to the Pool

If you know a certain set of files will be used in a Song but do not want to import them into the Song directly, you can simply

import the files into the Pool. Later, you can quickly find and make use of these files from the Pool.

To import a file into the Pool, drag it to the Pool from the Files tab of the Browser, or from Windows Explorer or the Mac

Finder.
