Getting started with Sound Editor projects
A Sound Editor project is a collection of the following components:
■
Audio clip: An audio file which contains a song, a part of a song, or a
short repetitive sound, such as a drum beat. You can add audio clips
from various sources to your Sound Editor project. For more
information, see About adding audio clips on page 86.
■
Track: An audio clip or part of a clip. You can export a track as a track
on an audio CD, or as an audio file. For more information, see
Exporting sets of tracks or audio clips on page 94 or Burning tracks or
clips to audio CDs on page 96.
Working with Sound Editor projects typically involves the following steps:
1 Add an audio clip to your project. For more information, see About
adding audio clips on page 86.
2 Improve the quality of the audio clip and apply special effects using
the Clip Editor. For more information, see About editing and applying
effects on page 88.
3 Repeat Step 1 to Step 2 to add and enhance additional audio clips.
4 Add track separators so you can create an audio CD with multiple
tracks, or so you can save your tracks as separate audio files. For more
information, see Adding or deleting track separators on page 90.
5 Export your project to a file or to an audio CD. For more information,
see Completing Sound Editor projects on page 92.
