April 17, 2005 ../ Apple Introduces Soundtrack ProNew Audio Editing and Sound Design Application Available in MayApple Computer introduced Soundtrack Pro, a new application that gives audio and video professionals a flexible way to create, control and fix audio. Soundtrack Pro features a waveform editor with flexible Action Layers that allow users to instantly re-order, bypass or change any edit, effect or process. Intelligent Find-and-Fix features quickly identify and repair common audio problems such as background noise, pops, clicks and hum. With full multitrack editing and mixing, over 50 effect plug-ins from Apple's Logic Pro 7, and more than 1,000 professional quality sound effects, Soundtrack Pro provides an intuitive, yet precise way to create quality audio. Action Layers in Soundtrack Pro's waveform editor let audio and video professionals quickly re-order, bypass or change any edit, effect or process. Integrated Action Lists deliver a complete history of edits and audio processing tasks, enabling users to revise decisions at any time while experimenting with sound design. Effect parameters can be tweaked spontaneously long after an effect has been applied to the audio waveform. Intelligent Find-and-Fix features quickly identify and repair common audio problems such as background noise, pops, clicks and hum and can be set automatically or manually for complete control.
An integrated mixer with control surface support enables audio pros to interact with audio tracks using their perferred interface. Users can apply common effects to multiple tracks and group common tracks using busses. Support for Mackie Control surface protocol allows sound editors to use hardware faders and knobs for tactile control over mix parameters.
AppleScript capabilities built into Soundtrack Pro simplify and accelerate the video production process by automating common and repetitive
audio tasks. Users can execute Soundtrack Pro scripts directly from within Final Cut Pro 5 any time they need them.
Automator, an application integrated in the new Mac OS X version 10.4, helps streamline more complex tasks without any programming. The Future: With Soundtrack Pro, Apple has set its sights on Bias Inc.'s excellent Peak 5. Although this should be a concern for Bias, Apple's handling of Logic reveals that their arrogance is also their achilles heel.
