Video script
- Use the drag handle on the sample row.
- Drag to your audio track or sampler.
- The DAW receives the original file.
- If the DAW does not accept it, drop on an audio track.
Step by step
- In the Samples tab list, grab the handle ⠿ on the sample row.
- Drag it out of the plugin window, to the audio track, clip slot or sampler of the DAW.
- Drop it. The DAW receives the original file (the same one on disk).
Tips
- With Shift + drag, Sonora uses the plugin’s internal drag (to drop inside Sonora itself, like on the waveform) instead of handing the file to the DAW.
If something goes wrong
- The DAW does not accept the file.
- Some DAWs only accept drops in certain areas (audio tracks, not MIDI tracks). Try dropping on an empty audio track.
- I dragged and nothing happened.
- Grab it by the ⠿ handle (not the whole row) and drag at least a few pixels before dropping.
