New Features in Soundtrack Pro 2
This is an overview of the new features in Soundtrack Pro 2. For more information on
these features and their use, see the
Soundtrack Pro 2 User Manual .
Surround Sound
Soundtrack Pro provides a flexible and elegant toolset for creating and editing audio
projects in 5.1 surround. Soundtrack Pro offers an easy-to-use approach to surround
panning, mixing, and automation, including unparalleled flexibility with surround files
and the ability to easily switch between stereo and surround mixes. Soundtrack Pro
also includes a huge library of surround clips for sound effects and music beds, as well
as advanced surround reverb and dynamics effects such as Space Designer, which
includes new impulse responses for creating accurate representations of actual spaces
in full surround.
Multitrack Editing Enhancements
Soundtrack Pro 2 adds powerful editing improvements, including the following:
 An integrated waveform editor—for editing and processing a clip’s backing file
directly in the File Editor tab and hearing the changes in the multitrack project—
streamlines your audio post-production workflow. You can view and modify a clip’s
audio file in the File Editor tab without losing the context of your multitrack Timeline.
Simply select a clip in the Timeline and it appears in the File Editor tab below. The
playheads in the Timeline and the File Editor tab are synchronized so you can play
the audio file within the context of your whole multitrack project. Any changes you
make to the audio file are updated in the Timeline immediately.
 The Sound Palette and Lift and Stamp tools are timesaving tools for applying work
you have done on one clip to one or more other clips. Use the Lift tool to copy
properties from selected clips and create a processing template in the Sound Palette
that can be applied to other clips. Use the Stamp tool to apply those properties to
the other clips. Match a clip’s sound characteristics using the Match EQ plug-in.
