68 Chapter 3 Setting Up Soundtrack Pro
Using Tabs
Soundtrack Pro uses tabs so you can quickly access different project views and controls.
You can switch between projects and between different tabs. Clicking the tab you want
makes it active and brings it to the front. You can rearrange and reorder the tabs to
easily access the ones you use frequently.
To reorder tabs:
m Drag a tab left or right in the window’s tab area.
You can also detach a tab from its docked position, which creates a separate resizable
window for the tab that can be dragged or resized. For example, you can drag the
Favorites tab to a new location so that you can easily move items from the Search tab
to the Bin tab.
To detach a tab:
m Drag the tab out of its docked position in the window to create a separate window for
the tab.
To attach (dock) a tab:
m Drag the tab to the top of any pane of the Soundtrack Pro window (except the top-center
project pane, which is reserved for the Timeline and the File Editor project view).
Using Project Layouts
Soundtrack Pro lets you save and recall preset window arrangements called layouts, so
that you can optimize your workspace for different tasks and different display sizes. You
can show, hide, and resize windows, then save each window arrangement as a layout.
To save a project layout:
1 Arrange the application windows as you want them to appear.
2 Choose Window > Save Layout.
3 In the Save dialog, type a name for the layout, then click Save.
The layout is saved, and appears in the Layouts submenu.
Note: By default, layouts are saved to the location /Users/username/Library/Application
Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts/. Do not change the location or Soundtrack Pro may
not be able to find and use your saved layouts.
