Importing audio

Besides recording, Life also lets you import audio files that you already have. It can even extract the audio from video files. Life handles most audio and video formats out there, including WAV, MP3, AAC and FLAC for audio, and MP4, AVI, and MOV for video.

Regardless of what file type and format you import, the resulting source file can be max 15 seconds long. If you import a file longer than 15 seconds, you will need to trim it as part of the import process.
