Chapter 3 Setting Up Soundtrack Pro 67
Compressed formats such as MP3 and AAC files are also supported, although these
must be internally decompressed to a linear PCM format.
Soundtrack Pro supports audio files with any sample rate between 8 kHz and 192 kHz
and any of the following bit depths: 8, 16, 24, 32, and 32-bit floating point. Up to 24
audio channels are supported in a single file. Audio files can be a maximum of 4 hours
in length.
Note: When you set a sample rate and play a file, Soundtrack Pro plays at the nearest
sample rate your hardware can support.
Setting Up Your Workspace

Soundtrack Pro window. You can also create layouts for different tasks and switch
