Don’t let this illustration and explanation worry you—assembling a multitrack project is easy. You just drag audio clips from the Browser, Favorites, Search, or Bin tab directly into any track in the Timeline. You can also drag audio clips directly into the Soundtrack Pro Timeline from your hard disk or any external drives you have connected to your system. When you’ve assembled your audio clips, you can edit them and route them to the Master bus using some of the techniques explained in this chapter.
