Basic Mixing in Soundtrack Pro
Soundtrack Pro gives you the tools to create sophisticated
audio mixes for your projects.
When you have added audio clips to your project and placed them in the Timeline, you
mix the project. Mixing is where you balance different elements, such as dialogue,
music, and sound effects, bring focus to key moments and events in the project, and
create a sense of perspective by placing sounds in space. When you finish mixing, you
have one or more final mixes that you can export.
Soundtrack Pro offers you professional mixing capabilities, including the abilities to
create busses and submixes and to send audio to multiple physical outputs. The Mixer
provides a visual representation of your project in a virtual mixing console, with
channel strips where you control different aspects of the sound. You can adjust volume
and pan, mute and solo tracks, choose track submixes, add effects, and observe levels
as the project plays. This chapter covers basic mixing. For information about mixing
surround sound, see Chapter 9, “
Mixing Surround Sound ,” on page 293.
