Because sound for visuals can comprise a variety of different elements like sound, dialog, and effects, you need more tracks. In CS4 you can now assemble all of the elements of a complex soundtrack into a final audio mixdown.
• Adobe Sound Document is new for CS4 and enables nondestructive audio editing so you can always return to the original sound files. The Adobe Sound Document (ASDN) can be shared with Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, and Adobe After Effects CS4.
