266 Chapter 8 Basic Mixing in Soundtrack Pro
Example: Mixing a Project with Dialogue, Music,
and Effects Submixes
A classic audio post-production practice for film and video is creating separate submixes
for the dialogue, the music, and the sound effects. This provides an appropriate degree
of flexibility, both in the mixing phase and in distributing the final product.
Creating Submixes
In this example project, all tracks containing dialogue are routed to a submix called
“Dialogue.” The tracks containing sound effects are routed to a submix called “FX.” The
tracks containing music are routed to a submix called “Music.”
The following diagram shows how audio signals from tracks in each category are
routed into their respective submixes.
