Processing Effects
You can apply processing effects to an audio file project. The Process menu includes
an Effects submenu where you choose processing effects to add to your project.
Processing effects are added as actions, which you can turn on or off, reorder, and
adjust in the Actions list.
For information about working with processing effects in the Waveform Editor, see
“
Working With Processing Effects ” on page 216. For information on working with
actions, see “ Working With Actions ” on page 170.
Audio Effects Included With Soundtrack Pro
Soundtrack Pro includes the following types of audio effects:
 Dynamics: Dynamics effects let you shape the volume of your projects over time.
Bundled dynamics effects include Compressor, Multipressor, Adaptive Limiter, and
Noise Gate.
 Distortion: Distortion effects change the tone of the audio signal to recreate the
sound of overdriven tube amplifiers or digital distortion. Bundled distortion effects
include Bitcrusher, Clip Distortion, Distortion, Exciter, and Phase Distortion.
 EQ and Filter: EQ (short for equalization) effects let you change the level of selected
frequencies. EQ provides a powerful way of shaping the sound of your projects.
Bundled EQ effects include High Cut and Low Cut, High Pass and Low Pass filters,
Channel EQ, Linear Phase EQ, Match EQ, and Parametric EQ.
 Modulation: Modulation effects delay an audio signal and shift (modulate) when the
delayed signal plays back relative to the original signal. Bundled modulation effects
include Chorus, Flanger, Modulation Delay, Phaser, Scanner Vibrato, and Tremolo.
 Reverb and Delay: Reverb effects can be used to simulate the sound of acoustic
spaces, both realistic and unnatural. Delay effects can be used to add echoes and
other recurring sounds. Bundled reverb and delay effects include PlatinumVerb,
Soundtrack Pro Reverb, Stereo Delay, Tape Delay, and Space Designer, a powerful tool
for sound design.
 Meters and Diagnostic: You can use realtime diagnostic effects to clean up audio files
in a variety of ways, including pitch, intensity, and phase problems. Bundled
diagnostic effects include Correlation Meter, MultiMeter, Test Oscillator, and Tuner.
These are only available as realtime effects, not processing effects.
 Miscellaneous: Miscellaneous effects fall outside the other categories, providing
additional ways to modify your audio. Bundled miscellaneous effects include
Denoise, PitchShifter, Spectral Gate, Stereo Spread, SubBass, and Vocal Transformer.
