Soundtack Pro: 2

Using the Multitrack View I  incorporated other tracks and cued them up to play at specific points. The track will then appear as follows:

To the left of each track are some buttons and other controls for changing the settings for the audio on each track.

• Rename the track by clicking on it. This helps to identify each track.

• Bypass effects button will turn off any real-time effect that were added so you can hear the audio only.

• Arm this track for recording will set this track for recording, so that when you hit the record button this track will capture the audio.

• Mute button will mute the audio on a particular track in your project.

• Solo button will let you listen to only the audio on a particular track in your project. (shuts off other tracks)

• Volume Control slider lets you increase or decrease the volume of all the audio files on a particular track.

• The Pan Control slider lets you change how much of the sound will be sent to the right channel or the left channel (such as t right and left stereo speakers). Adjusting the Pan and Volume controls will affect the audio on all the clips on a track.

In an audio track you can trim the length of a clip. Or you can cut a clip in two, which then allows you to move or discard one of the new segments.

• Trim: To trim a clip, move your mouse cursor to the edge of an audio clip, and a bracket that looks like a staple with a left and right arrow will appear. Click and drag the edge of the clip to the point you want to trim the clip.

• Cut: To cut or razor a clip, first select the razor tool in the top left corner of the Project Window. Then move your mouse cursor over the audio clip and press the mouse button at the point where you want to separate the clip.

You can then select the arrow tool at the top left of the Project Window and click on one of the segments of the audio clip, to move it or delete it.
