Getting Started With Audio File Projects
You can create audio file projects, open audio files in the Waveform Editor, create a new
audio file, and save an audio file as an audio file project.
Supported Audio File Formats
You can open the audio files in the following formats in the Waveform Editor:
 Audio file project
 AIFF
 WAVE
 MP3
 AAC (except protected AAC files)
 Sound Designer II
 NeXT Sound File
 QuickTime Movie
You can open audio files with any combination of the following sample rates and bit
depths:
Sample Rates
 Any rate between 8 kHz and 192 kHz
Bit Depths
 8-bit integer
 16-bit integer
 24-bit integer
 32-bit integer
 32-bit floating point
You can open audio files up to four hours in length in the Waveform Editor.
Note: You can open audio files with any sample rate between 8 kHz and 192 kHz. When
you edit the file in the Waveform Editor, it maintains its sample rate. When you play the
file, it plays at the nearest sample rate your hardware can support.
The audio file project format is the native format of the Soundtrack Pro Waveform
Editor. Audio files saved in this format have some special features, which are described
in this chapter.
