Soundtrack Pro 2, Apple's sound design and editing application, is the only digital audio tool designed specifically for Final Cut Pro users. This much-awaited upgrade includes dozens of new audio-editing features and repositions the software to extend its appeal to the higher end of the audio post-production market. In line with this big upgrade, author and audio producer Martin Sitter has created all-new projects and completely revised this Apple-certified training guide. After introducing readers to the Soundtrack workspace and showing them how to work with audio clips and tracks, Sitter moves quickly to the essential task of audio restoration and clean-up. Readers then learn to arrange, edit, and mix multi-track audio projects; record and edit voiceovers and narration; and experiment with advanced mixing and effects. Step-by-step exercises and a DVD with project and media files will have readers taking advantage of Soundtrack's 1000+ new royalty-free surround sound effects and music tracks to create perfectly synched soundtracks in no time. Also included are dozens of advanced sound editing tips for professional users who want to take their video, DVD, and Web projects to the next level.
