Note: The Soundtrack Pro User Manual and the Soundtrack Pro Effects Reference (available in the Help menu) provide in-depth information about the various effects available in Soundtrack Pro.

You can add an effect to any track, bus, or submix as a realtime effect. A realtime effect modifies the audio signal as it passes through the effect. Applying an effect as a realtime effect is useful because you can immediately identify the effect’s influence on the project.

You can add realtime effects to a track, bus, or submix, or to a project’s Master bus.

To add a realtime effect to a track, bus, or submix, or to the Master bus:

1Select the track, bus, submix, or Master bus to which you want to apply the effects.

2In the Effects tab of the Inspector, select the effect you want to apply from the Effects list. Then click the Add (+) button in the Effects tab to apply the effect.

The Compressor effect is selected.

Click the Add button to add the effect to the

track you selected in the Timeline.
