Innovative Action-based Waveform Editor The Soundtrack Pro waveform editor gives you extensive audio file editing capabilities and lets you perform non-destructive, sample-accurate manipulations of audio. With the action list, you can reorder, change, suspend or delete any edit or process action at any time - making it easy to experiment with different sound design tasks or recall, refine and modify any edits or repairs. An action insertion bar lets you quickly recall past edit and process locations. You can apply all included effects and third-party audio unit plug-ins to the audio waveform non-destructively as actions, which means you can tweak parameters long after you've applied the effect. Render files for use in other applications, or keep them in a non-destructive project format for use within Soundtrack Pro or other Final Cut Studio applications such as Final Cut Pro 5 or Motion 2. Over 50 Professional Effect Plug-ins Create professional mixes, innovative sound effects, creative music samples and high-quality dialog using Soundtrack Pro effect plug-ins. For example, Space Designer accurately emulates the reverb qualities of any space using impulse response technology, and Match EQ helps a voice-over punch-in, ADR track or music overdub sound like the original field recording or live performance. And with support for the Audio Unit plug-in standard, you can use third-party plug-ins to augment these effects. AppleScript Record a script from multiple operations as you perform them, then execute those steps automatically and quickly by recalling the script, whenever. You can also use Soundtrack Pro AppleScripts as droplets to batch-process thousands of audio files at once. And with Mac OS X Tiger, you can use Automator actions to automate complex multi-application workflows - speeding up your production process. To save even more time, Soundtrack Pro scripts can be executed directly from Final Cut Pro 5. More than 5000 Sound Effects Find the right sound to build musical projects or convey the action and emotion of a picture. Soundtrack Pro provides more than 1000 sound effect Apple Loops, ranging from earthshaking explosions and whooshes to subtle ambience and foley effects, all selected from professionally produced sound effects libraries by Sound Ideas. Want music too? Soundtrack Pro also includes thousands of music Apple Loops and supports JamPack Apple Loops - as well as third-party sound effect and music libraries, including Acid, AIFF, WAV and MP3 libraries. Intelligent Find-and-Fix Save time preparing field recorded audio or restoring old or damaged recordings. Easily remove background noise with the fast and effective "Reduce Noise" feature. Automatically detect, preview and fix clicks, pops, hum and other audio problems. Soundtrack Pro includes a set of audio tools that can quickly analyze an audio file for common problems and fix them individually or in a single operation. Time-stretch audio Is your audio too long or too short for your video? Need to speed up or slow down a musical segment or file? Soundtrack Pro enables you to instantly change the duration of audio without affecting pitch, saving you time when you're preparing music tracks or fitting a voice-over or sound effect to video frames. You can time-stretch an audio file or selection by simply dragging audio to the desired clip length or by entering accurate time durations. You can even resize portions of an audio file to change the duration of individual words or musical elements. Ambient noise print Get rid of unwanted noise and save time when preparing dialog tracks or editing live recordings. Set an ambient noise print and Soundtrack Pro automatically fills deleted audio segments with natural-sounding room tone or environmental noise. Multi-take recording Soundtrack Pro enables you to record multiple takes in a single clip in the timeline. Once recorded, you can audition each take with the rest of the session by selecting it directly in the timeline - making it easy to choose the best performance or the best read. It's also easy to comp together a final track built from different segments of each take. Control Surface Support Soundtrack Pro gives you a familiar mixer interface for interacting with your audio tracks, including multitrack editing and mixing. Hardware faders and knobs provide tactile control over mix parameters. With the Soundtrack Pro Mixer, you can automate mix and effect parameters and use sends to apply common effects to multiple tracks. You can even use output busses to group similar tracks for "single fader" control or for different delivery requirements, including DM&E mixes, alternate language tracks or director's commentaries or Stem Mixes. SoundTrack Pro supports multi-channel audio output devices, including the Mackie control surface protocol. Synchronized External Video Display Now it's easy to place audio that's perfectly synchronized to video. Soundtrack Pro displays video up to HD resolutions, whether on an external video monitor or on a second desktop using Digital Cinema Desktop. You can also add a video to a project and view it in the resizable Video tab. Integrate Seamlessly Open up Final Cut Pro projects to edit a single file or a whole soundtrack. Display video with the resizable tearoff video window or at full HD resolution on a second display using Digital Cinema Desktop. Execute scripts from Soundtrack Pro or Final Cut Pro 5, or as AppleScript droplets for batch processing. Or let the Mac OS X Tiger Automator do it for you. Soundtrack Pro is also great as a waveform editor or sound design tool with Logic Pro, Logic Express or other digital audio workstation. Apple Soundtrack Pro Features: Precise Audio Control
