Hi Slau,
Thanks for this informative answer. It was very helpful. One question. If I create a stereo track, when I export the track out, will that track be exported as one stereo track or as 2 mono tracks labeled left and right.

I'm going to need to import a tracking mix in to my session, and I was wondering how the import dialog looked. When I tried using it before, it was a little confusing so was wondering how that wrked. Press Command-Shift-i to bring up the Import Audio dialog. This will be a standard dialog and you should know how to navigate to the files you wish to import. Press Return on each file you wish to import then move to the Done button and click once. You'll probably get another dialog asking where to import the files. The default location will be the Audio Files folder in your session so just press Return again. Finally, you'll get a dialog asking whether to import to a track or to the Regions list. The first radio button (which has the letter t associated with it) should be selected and then hit Return. A new track or tracks will come up with the files you selected. 2. I'm going to have tw audio tracks, which are going to be a left and right string tracks coming out of my keyboard in t my interface. I'm assuming that both tracks need to be selected in the track list table in order to record on them at once. Can't remember the command to select a track that is right beside the other tack that you have selected. I'm using PT10.0. I'm not sure why you don't just create one stereo track and enable it with one record button. At any rate, a track doesn't necessarily need to be selected in order to record to it. One does have the added advantage of being able to use a couple of shortcuts for record-enabling the track but it's not required. For what it's worth, the p key and the semicolon key with the Control modifier will move the track selection to adjacent tracks. Using Shift will extend the track selection. Make sure that track selection follows edit selection under the Options menu for that to work correctly. 3. My last question has to do with exporting. I'm going to need t have to export both of my string tracks out of pt. I know that I would use the bounce to disc option, but what's the best way t just bounce out individual tracks out of my session and not the entire mix which for me in this case would also include my tracking mix. You essentially have two options: A. Mute all tracks except the ones you wish to bounce to disk and simply bounce them or, B. Export the files with Command-Shift-e. The thing about the second option is that you'll need to consolidate the tracks' audio regions first. Make sure the tracks you wish to consolidate are selected. Select the edit range from the top of the session to the end of the tracks you wish to consolidate. Press Option-Shift-3 on the numbers row to consolidate. With the tracks still selected, use the Export Regions command and navigate to where you wish to export. Keep in mind that if you wish to rename the regions before exporting, use Command-Shift-r to bring up the region name dialog. If more than one track is selected, it will prompt in order of appearance. If it's a stereo file, it'll append the necessary L and R to the individual files unless you export as interleaved stereo.
