Important: In order to edit nondestructively and save a file with actions, you need to
convert standard audio files (such as AIFF or WAVE files) to Soundtrack Pro audio file
projects (with the .stap file extension). You can easily do this by opening an AIFF or a
WAVE file in Soundtrack Pro and then saving it as a Soundtrack Pro audio file project.
Keep in mind the following:
• You can edit up to 24 tracks in a single file.
• You can play back up to six channels in a single file in the multitrack Timeline.
• Audio files can be a maximum of four hours in length.
