Get precise and flexible control over your audio.
Soundtrack Pro's innovative action-based, sample accurate waveform editor with intelligent repair and restoration functions let you precisely manipulate audio while retaining total creative flexibility. Each edit, effect or process performed in the waveform editor can be turned on or off, changed or totally re-ordered to give you complete creative control in a non-destructive audio editor. Intelligent find-and-fix lets you quickly identify, preview and fix common audio problems like background noise, pops, clicks and hum.

Sculpt the perfect sound.
With over 50 professional effect plug-ins including Space Designer, Match EQ and Linear Phase EQ from Logic Pro, you can precisely enhance a dialog track, recreate the reverberant ambiance of any space or create over-the-top sound effects and music samples. Ambient noise print streamlines the dialog and live sound editing process by allowing you to quickly remove unwanted sounds and automatically fill them with ambient noise.

Simplify and speed up your production process.
Seamlessly move back and forth between Final Cut Studio applications and Soundtrack Pro for quick and simple audio touch-up and creation work. Or take entire sequences from Final Cut Pro 5 and produce complete soundtracks. You can easily move from DVD Studio Pro 4 and Soundtrack Pro to create director's commentaries and audio beds for menus, and quickly add a sound effect or transition audio to Motion 2 projects. And with Soundtrack Pro's AppleScript capabilities, you can automate common and repetitive audio tasks and execute them directly from Final Cut Pro 5. Audio producers and musicians using applications like Logic Pro, Logic Express, Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Live or Reason can prepare audio for sampler plug-ins, get detailed and focused control over audio files, or automate and batch process thousands of audio files to save time.
