Hi, Chris,

Some audio software will permit you to grab a bunch of files and drop
them together into a timeline. Samplitude does that and the consumer
Magix (parent company of Samplitude/Sequoia) PhotoStory allows you to do
that for images. So I do not know how far down the line that works in
the Magix packages. Other software packages may do that.

In Samplitude, when I select multiple files at File>Open, it comes up
with a dialogue asking if I want to load the files into individual
tracks in the virtual project OR one after the other. I believe it is
selection-order sensitive.

Worth a try.

Cheers,

Richard
