As you know, you should save your project and save it often! A Soundtrack Pro multitrack project (.stmp) contains information about the clips it contains and how those clips are arranged and edited.

A multitrack project file does not include the audio files used in the project; instead, it refers to the files in their saved locations. This keeps the project file size relatively small.

Once you’ve specified a project’s name and location, saving can be as easy as playing a project.
