Chapter 7. Managing Audio Tracks

There are four typical scenarios for dealing with sound in Qtractor and, indeed, for most digital audio workstations:

Import existing audio files from your harddrive, a recording device, or a loop collection
Record audio into Qtractor via your computer's built-in microphone or an external microphone
Import MIDI data
Create MIDI data

All three of these methods of acquiring sound for your work can be, and very often are, combined to produce a richer audio production.
