Part of: Sounds from the Attic

If you need to fix audio problems fast, Soundbooth makes it easy to detect automatically and fix common flaws such as hiss, hum, phase problems, crackling, and pops. Visually edit audio with familiar graphics editing tools in Spectral View. Match the volume of multiple clips of dialogue.

So what is new with Soundbooth CS5?
• Improved Multitrack editing - will take that high-impact visual media that depends on effective use of sound and music and make it easy to place sonic elements precisely to create the perfect blend of dialogue, voice-over, music, and sound effects. Now, with the improved workflow in multitrack edit mode, you can mix and edit multitrack projects faster and with more control. You can resize the tracks in Multitrack View to view entire multitrack projects at once or to zoom in on specific tracks. Split, move, and copy audio clips more easily with enhanced clip editing; these improvements let you align sound clips to specific points in a scene, duplicate clips within a track, or move clips between different tracks.

• Expanded library - of royalty-free Soundbooth Scores and sound effects that will help to kick-start your soundtrack with a dramatically expanded selection of royalty-free content. Add to that, Soundbooth CS5 now offers access to Resource Central panel, where you’ll find more than 10,000 sound effects.

• Soundbooth Scores - are extremely flexible and configurable. There are more than 130 customizable Soundbooth Scores available and all professionally composed. Each Score is a multipart instrumental performance or a mix of instrumental and ambient sounds. Each self-contained score has clearly marked sections such as intros, endings, and thematic variations. You can easily align start and end times of a score with the length of a scene simply by dragging the start and end points. Internal sections are automatically stretched or shortened to keep the integrity of the performance consistent. If you need to shorten a scene by a few seconds, just drag the end points to match the new length, and your soundtrack is automatically adjusted.
