Import an audio file

 
 
 

To load an audio file into your scene

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Select File > Import from the main menu bar. A file browser lets you select the name of the sound file(s) to import.
    • Drag the file(s) from a file browser into one of the Maya modeling views, or onto the Time Slider.

    The peaks of the sound waves are visible in the Time Slider, and the Time Slider is ready to play or scrub the sound.

Note

On Windows, if you are importing .wav files created on a Mac, you may need to convert the files to a Windows-compatible format before you can import them into Maya.
