greater multi-channel audio will be recorded as interleaved audio files.
Importing Audio
When you import audio from a hard drive (or other volume) into your
session, Pro Tools places the audio files in the Clip List. Pro Tools provides
several options for importing audio into a session.
Import Audio Dialog Box
Audio files and clips can be imported directly to the Clip List or imported to
new tracks using the Import Audio dialog box. This dialog box can be used to
add, copy, and/or convert audio files for use in your session.

The Import Audio dialog box includes the following main areas.
▪ File navigation. A standard navigation bar at the top of the dialog box
combined with the navigation display window on the left side allows you
to locate and select audio files on your system.
▪ File properties. The area below the navigation window lists the file
type, length, size, bit depth, sample rate, and number of channels
(1=mono, 2=stereo interleaved) for the selected file.
