Importing Audio Files and Regions
Using Pro Tools Menu Commands
Pro Tools provides menu commands to import
audio files or regions.
To import audio files or regions into a session from
the Pro Tools File menu:
1 Choose File > Import > Audio.

to display its properties and associated regions.
You can choose to display only a certain file
