18 Chapter 2 Assembling Your Multitrack Project
Working with Multitrack Projects
You build a multitrack project in the Soundtrack Pro Timeline. The Timeline contains
tracks for arranging files; after the clip tracks, there are additional rows for busses
(which are predominantly used to share effects to groups of tracks), submixes (which
are used to create groups of like audio and to route these groups to physical outputs),
and the Master bus (the final mix control).
Here is a typical organization for a film or video project that has submixes for effects,
music, and dialogue. While this illustration doesn’t mirror the Timeline’s organization, it
does show how to route signals from beginning to output using tracks, submixes, and
the Master bus.
The Soundtrack Pro multitrack project shown above has eight tracks, which are routed
to three surround submixes.
