For information on using actions, see Working with Actions .
Note: Any time you apply a command from either the Edit menu or the Process menu,
Soundtrack Pro creates an audio file project (.stap) for the source audio file if one doesn’t
exist already. Clips that reference the audio source file all have their audio source replaced
with that audio file project.
4 Play the clip.
Soundtrack Pro plays the clip together with any other active tracks in the Timeline.
5 Make any other adjustments and edits to the clip in the File Editor (or to the actions in
the Actions tab) and play the clip again. Repeat as necessary.
Using the File Editor to Add Part of a File to the Timeline
A common task for sound editors is adding sound effects or ambient clips to a multitrack
project. Often you will use one or more small sections from a longer source file. In addition
to the normal cut or copy and paste operations used to add part of a file to the Timeline,
you can use the File Editor tab in conjunction with the Timeline.
To add small sections of a longer audio file to a multitrack project
1 Open a multitrack project in the Timeline.
2 Select a file in the Browser, Search tab, or Favorites tab.
3 Drag the selected audio file to the File Editor tab.
