Soundtrack accesses more than 4,000 royalty-free audio loops and sound effects and enables video creators, DVD producers and web designers to create accompanying music in the simplest way at a quality that also satisfies high professional demands. Soundtrack is also of interest to audio producers, DJs and remix artists who conceive their projects in Soundtrack in order to process them further in Logic or ProTools.
Soundtrack has an easy-to-understand user interface and treats each individual loop as an audio building block that can simply be dragged & dropped into the composition. Regardless of the tempo or key of the original recording, Soundtrack automatically inserts the loop or sound-effect building block into the composition in real time and harmonizes the entire project. The same simplicity also characterizes the search function, which allows users to quickly find the desired sounds by searching the library by instrument, genre or mood. This new search engine works with the new open “Apple Loops” audio format or any AIFF, WAV and Acid format.
With more than 4,000 royalty-free audio loops and sound effects, Soundtrack is the ideal complement to other applications used for digital media production, such as Final Cut Express, DVD Studio Pro, Macromedia Flash and Dreamweaver. Licensing music is expensive, but with Soundtrack users have the unlimited option of distributing, transmitting and reselling their music compositions without having to fear additional costs.
Soundtrack is delivered with more than 30 professional audio plug-ins from Apple and Emagic. Plug-ins such as Platinum Verb, SpectralGate, Multiband Compressor and AutoFilter make it possible to combine effects with individual tracks to create sophisticated audio peices. Soundtrack supports the Audio Units plug-in architecture of Mac OS X, which, Thanks to the open plug-in format, can easily be expanded with third-party plug-ins.
