Editing Audio Files

And you can do all this while working interactively with same audio file in the
multitrack Timeline and while hearing (and seeing) the file in the context of other
audio files in a multitrack project.

In addition, the File Editor project view includes realtime effects and effects automation,
AppleScript droplet creation, and other useful features. For more information about the
File Editor project view, see “

Using the File Editor Project View

” on page 240.

Important:

In order to edit nondestructively and save a file with actions, you need to

convert standard audio files (such as AIFF or WAVE files) to Soundtrack Pro audio file
projects (with the .stap file extension). You can easily do this by opening an AIFF or a
WAVE file in Soundtrack Pro and then saving it as a Soundtrack Pro audio file project.

You can open the following audio file formats in the File Editor:

 Soundtrack Pro audio file project
 AIFF (including Apple Loops)
 WAVE
 Sound Designer II
 NeXT
 QuickTime movie containing audio tracks
 CAF (Apple Core Audio Format)
