If for some reason your screen has a different layout or appearance, press the F1 key to return to a normal view.

There are several different components to the Soundtrack Pro layout.

  • Video viewer/Project info - This area will allow you to see video content and project information.
  • Main project window - This is the main work area for your project; allowing you to either work on single files or in several tracks in multitrack mode.
  • Recording levels and audio meters - This area will allow you see the recording and playback level meters.
  • Show/Hide Window Panes - Allows you to hide various window panes to increase your project area.
  • Browser/Search - the area on the right toward the bottom where you can see all your source media, including audio files that are on your computer. This will only show folders and compatible audio files.
  • Control bar - This is the main control bar where you can initiate recording, playback and other functions.
  • Mixer pane - This area has several tabs including a mixer for use during multitrack editing.
  • Utility Window - the area on the left at the bottom where you monitor audio record levels, as well as video tracks associated with your audio. This is also where you find the actions window pane.
