Chapter 7 Working in the Waveform Editor 145
Creating and Opening Audio File Projects
You start working in the Waveform Editor by creating an audio file project, opening an
existing audio file project, or opening an audio file in the Waveform Editor.
To create a new, blank audio file project:
m Choose File > New > Audio File.
To open an audio file project or audio file in the Waveform Editor, do one of
the following:
m Choose File > Open (or press Command-O), locate and select the project or file, then
click Open.
m Drag the project or file over the Soundtrack Pro icon in the Dock.
m In the Multitrack window or the Media and Effects Manager, Control-click a project or
file, then choose Open in Editor from the shortcut menu.
When you open a clip from the Multitrack window, if the clip is part of a larger audio
file, the Waveform Editor zooms in to the length of the clip. A marker is added to mark
the start and end points of the clip.
When you open a stereo audio file in the Waveform Editor, the left channel appears in
the upper part of the waveform display, and the right channel appears in the lower
part.
You can have multiple audio file projects open in Soundtrack Pro, and cut and paste
between them, but only one project can play back at a time.
Closing Audio File Projects
You can close the project when you no longer want to work on it, or close the Project
window and close all open projects (both multitrack and audio file projects).
To close a project:
m Choose File > Close Project.
To close all open projects and close the Project window:
m Choose File > Close Window.
