Surround mixing
Soundtrack Pro 2 makes it easy to create professional surround sound mixes. Use an innovative surround panner to view a dynamic visual representation of how sound is panned in the surround field. Choose from more than 1000 royalty-free surround music beds and sound effects; use any of the provided surround audio effect plug-ins, such as the Space Designer convolution reverb, or adapt any mono or stereo effect plug-in for use on surround tracks.

Automatic audio conform process
If you make changes to your sequence in Final Cut Pro, use the powerful new Conform feature in Soundtrack Pro to automatically update your audio project to match the video edit. The Conform feature compares the two versions and highlights the changed audio clips. Confidence ranking, auditioning, and intuitive navigation tools help you choose which changes to accept, reject, or modify. Then Soundtrack Pro repositions your accepted changes to match the audio edit to the video edit. Watch the QuickTour
Multipoint spotting display
The innovative new three-up video display makes it easier than ever to synchronize sound effects and dialogue to specific events in the video. The display shows video frames for a clip’s start, sync, and end points. Scrub the audio cue back and forth and watch the video dynamically update as you identify exactly where to position your sound effect. Watch the QuickTour
Lift & Stamp
Use the new Lift & Stamp tool to quickly copy a set of effects or EQ characteristics from one clip and apply them to another, or save them as a preset for future use. The Lift & Stamp EQ matching technology in Soundtrack Pro 2 makes it easier than ever to have dialogue from different sources sound as though it was recorded at the same time. Watch the QuickTour
Revolutionary “take” management
Combine parts of the best takes in record time. The new Multitake Editor lets you view all takes simultaneously in a single window. Select the best words or phrases from each take, then let Soundtrack Pro combine them in a final composite, including crossfades between takes for seamless playback. The unused phrases stay with the composite in case you need to make changes in the future. Watch the QuickTour

Place chapter, artwork, and URL markers without leaving Soundtrack Pro and output your files with a single click.
