Creating a New Project
You can add music and sound to an existing project or to a new project.
Just as in any Windows program, you open an existing project Þle using
the File-Open command and create a new project Þle using the File-
New command.
When you create a new Pro Audio project, there are some additional
parameters you can set to make it easier to work on your project. These
include:
¥ Meter and key signature
¥ Metronome and tempo settings
¥ Audio sampling rate
¥ MIDI timing resolution
Creating a New Project File
Pro Audio includes a set of templates you can use to create a new project.
These templates include common types of ensembles, such as rock
quartets, jazz trios, and classical full orchestra. When you create a new
project using one of these templates, Pro Audio creates a project that has
MIDI settings predeÞned so that one track is set up for each of the
instruments in the ensemble. Pro Audio also includes an empty template
(called the Normal template), which is completely blank. If you are
creating a new project that will contain only audio material (no MIDI
material), use the Normal template.
You can create your own template Þles and use them as the basis for
other new projects. For more information, see Chapter 12, Using Layouts
and Templates.
