Soundtrack Pro

Soundtrack Pro is a discontinued music composing and audio editing application made by Apple Inc.

An earlier incarnation of the package, Soundtrack, was first sold as part of Apple's Final Cut Pro 4 video editor, released in April 2003.

[1] The main concept of Soundtrack was to allow people who are not professional composers to produce original music for their videos or DVDs, royalty-free.

Since September 2007 Soundtrack Pro also comes as part of the Logic Studio bundle, Apple's own audio and midi sequencing software.

Multitrack mode is where the royalty-free instrument loops and sound effects can be arranged in synchronisation with the video track, and where narration or other external audio sources can be recorded.

Adding keyframes to these envelopes (effectively lines that run beneath each track) allows the parameters to be varied over time.

Each track can also have filters and effects applied to it; these could be Audio Units or Logic Pro plug-ins - examples of those included are Compressor, Multipressor, Flanger, Space Designer and Ringshifter.

Using the 'touch' or 'latch' modes, changes to volume, pan and effects parameters can be recorded in real time as the project plays.

The actions performed on a clip, such as reversing it, inverting it or normalizing it, are listed on the left-hand side, where they can be reviewed, disabled, reverted or re-ordered.

It supports a 'roundtrip' workflow, in which Final Cut Pro sequences can be exported as small reference files that include scoring markers.
