256 Chapter 7 Using the Multitake Editor
Adding and Deleting Takes
You can easily add audio files to a multitake clip. Added takes can be any audio files
that Soundtrack Pro supports and that match the sample rate and channel valence of
the takes already in the Multitake Editor. The takes do not have to be from the same
recording session. It is just as easy to remove takes from a multitake clip.
∏
Tip: Optionally, you can add a take from the original production audio to use a guide
track. The waveform in this original recording can be a good reference point during
your multitake editing session.
To add a take, do one of the following:
m Drag a file into the Multitake Editor.
m Choose Add Take from the pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the Multitake tab.
In the dialog that appears, navigate to the audio file you want to add and click Open.
Note: The sample rate and the channel valence (mono, stereo, surround, and so on) of
the files you want to add must match the sample rate and the channel valence of the
files already in the Multitake Editor.
To remove a take:
m Choose Remove Take from the pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the Multitake
tab and choose the take you want to remove from the submenu.
Renaming Takes
By default, Soundtrack Pro names takes according to the order in which they were
recorded and the track in which they were recorded. For example, “Take 3 - Track 1
Recording 3.aiff.” You can easily rename any take to suit your needs.
To rename a take in a multitake clip:
m Click the name field in the header for the take and enter a new name.
