What’s new in Soundbooth CS4
Adobe® Soundbooth® CS4 includes more capabilities and content,
giving you greater flexibility for audio editing and enhancement.
- Multitrack support
- Work with multiple audio tracks to combine dialogue, music,
and sound effect into a final audio mixdown. (See Multitrack mixing and editing.)
- Adobe Sound Document format
- The new ASND file format lets you readjust fades and effects,
and restore previous edits with history snapshots. Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional, Adobe Premiere® Pro CS4, and Adobe After Effects® CS4 import ASND files, tightly integrating
those applications with Soundbooth. (See Choosing an audio file format.)
- Automatic volume matching
- Equalize volume levels within a file with a single click.
Or, quickly match the volume of multiple files. (See Fading, changing, and maximizing volume.)
- Volume keyframing
- Automatically adjust the volume of dialogue, music, and sound-effects
tracks over time. (See Automate mixes with keyframes.)
- mp3 compression preview
- Preview sound quality and file size at various bit rates
to achieve the results you want. (See mp3 options.)
- Improved integration with other CreativeSuite 4 software
- For audio clean-up or enhancement, use the Edit In Adobe
Soundbooth command in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe Premiere
Pro CS4, or Adobe After Effects CS4. After your edits are complete,
audio files automatically update in Adobe Flash and video projects.
(See Edit audio files from Adobe Flash, Premiere Pro, or After Effects.)
- Adobe Dynamic Link workflows
- When Soundbooth is installed with Adobe Creative Suite 4
Production Premium, you can dynamically link to Adobe After Effects
compositions or Adobe Premiere Pro sequences. Dynamic Link eliminates the
need for intermediate rendering. Changes in one application are
automatically reflected in the other. (See Dynamically link to Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.)
- Looping tool enhancements
- Create seamless loops with automatic beat detection and display.
(See Create and optimize loops.)
- Additional Soundbooth Scores with improved workflow
- Jump start your audio with customizable music and atmospheres.
Layer multiple scores in multitrack files. (See Customizing scores.)
- Speech Search
- Turn spoken dialogue into searchable metadata. Spoken words become
keywords that point to specific timecode locations, helping you
quickly navigate clips. Embed speech metadata in exported audio
and video so search engines that read XMP metadata can index and
locate your files. (See Viewing and editing XMP metadata.)
- Creative Pro Online Services
- Connect to the power of the online community. New online
services let you search for help, share your screen with colleagues
or clients, and more.
- Adobe Resource Central
- With the Resource Central panel in Soundbooth, access Soundbooth
Scores and sound effects, as well as product-related news and tutorials.
(Internet connection required.)
- Adobe Bridge Home
- Keep up to date with what’s new from Adobe and the web, video,
and audio production communities. Watch the latest video tutorials,
listen to podcast interviews with leading designers, or learn about
training events in your community. Discover tips and resources that
help you work smarter and faster in all your Creative Suite 4 software.
(Internet connection required.)
- Adobe Community Help
- Get the power of an online search engine within Soundbooth,
but with more targeted results. Searchable content includes in-depth,
product-specific Help from Adobe, plus additional content from the design
and production communities. To find focused answers you need, use
the search bar in Soundbooth CS4, or choose Help > Adobe Soundbooth
Help.
