Importing regions into your project

You can select and import regions of an audio file in the Audio Preview/Region Selector in the Media Pool. Regions are a selected portion of an audio file. You can select and import one or more regions. You can also select regions from markers in the waveform.

When you import a region, the entire audio file is imported to the project Originals folder. Objects are created in the project at the Object destination with the region selected in the Source Editor. When you import more than one region, each region is saved with a number appended to the object name. For example, if you import three regions from the same file, each region is saved as an object with "_01", "_02", and "_03" appended to the object name.

The following image shows three selected regions in a waveform.

Selecting regions

To select regions, do one of the following:

Click the starting point of the region you want to select and drag to the end point of the desired region.
Hold Ctrl or Shift and select multiple regions.
If your file has markers, you can select a marker as a region by clicking the marker name.
When you select a file, and then select Auto Select Detected Regions at the bottom of the Audio Preview/Region Selector pane, the Media Pool auto-selects regions based on the audio content.
Wwise automatically detects regions in WAV files based on the energy and silence and uses heuristics to determine regions of interest. This is particularly useful when an audio file contains several takes or variations of the same type of sound. For example, the detected regions can be imported into a Random Container in just a few steps, reducing the amount of work necessary to prepare the files.

Deselecting regions

To deselect regions, do one of the following:

Right-click a region and select either Deselect Region or Deselect All Regions.
Press Esc.
