84 Appendix An Introduction to the Soundtrack Pro Interface
Working with Tabs
Soundtrack Pro is a collection of tabbed workspaces. You can hide and display the right,
left, and lower panes of the Soundtrack Pro workspace using the interface buttons in the
top-right corner of the Toolbar. You can also tear off any tab and create a floating window.
When you first open a multitrack project in Soundtrack Pro, it displays the Standard
layout, a single-window layout with multiple tabs.
The Timeline is located in the center of the Soundtrack Pro window. Most of your audio
editing will be done in the Timeline, the File Editor tab, the File Editor project view, and
the Mixer.
Below the Timeline is an area that can display a Mixer, a File Editor, a Multitake Editor, a
Conform tab, or a Bin tab. To view a tab, click it. If you want to view a clip in the File
Editor, make sure you’ve selected the clip you want to view in the Timeline.
The tabs to the left of the Timeline display information about the selected
Soundtrack Pro project. You can watch the video clip associated with a multitrack
project in the Video tab and get project information in the Project tab. You can also get
specific information about project tracks by viewing the Track tab and get specifics
about a clip by viewing the Effects, Details, and Analysis tabs.
These tabs contain
specific details about
clips, tracks, and effects
used in a project.
