How to import files

Learn the two main ways to import audio files into Forte.

How to import files

Drag and drop Import

  • The simplest method is to drag and drop your audio tracks directly into the Forte window.
  • As soon as you drop the files, Forte automatically analyzes them.
  • Your tracks are immediately organized, color-coded, and renamed according to Forte’s technology.

Import using the menu

  • Alternatively, click the “Import Audio Files” button within the Forte interface.
  • Select the audio files you want to import from your computer.
  • Forte will analyze and organize the files just as with drag and drop—applying color coding, renaming, and categorization automatically.

How to import audio tracks in Pro Tools

  • Click the Import button in Forte.
  • Forte will automatically begin importing your audio tracks into Pro Tools.
  • The process is hands-free—no further manual steps are needed during import.

Automated organization

  • As Forte imports the tracks, it automatically applies color coding and other organizational features.
  • The import process is completed in seconds, with all tracks neatly organized and ready to use.

Strip silence

  • If you have enabled the strip silence feature, Forte will automatically remove silent sections from your tracks during import.
  • This further streamlines your session and prepares your audio for immediate editing or mixing.

How to import audio tracks in Logic Pro

  • All audio files are analyzed, organized, color-coded, and prepared by Forte before import.

Routing setup

  • In the routing options, each bus is already assigned (e.g., Bus 1 to Drums, Bus 2 to Bass, etc.), matching your session’s structure.
  • This ensures that upon import, each track is routed to the correct destination in Logic Pro.

One-click import

  • Click the Import button in Forte.
  • Forte automatically adds the audio files to your Logic Pro session, applies the correct routing, and maintains the color and organizational structure you set up.
  • The process is fully automated and requires no manual intervention once started.
