ÂUpdate Multitrack Projects: If you have used a file associated with the multitrack project you are saving in one or more multitrack projects, Soundtrack Pro can replace every instance of the old file with the file you are currently saving. To enable this switch, select the Update Multitrack Projects checkbox.

Important: To write over the original file destructively, save the file using the original file type, not the new audio file project.

4Click the Save button. Your file is saved.

Opening a Logic Pro Audio File in Soundtrack Pro

The Open in External Editor feature allows you to edit or process mono, stereo, and multichannel files using the editing tools and features in Soundtrack Pro.

To open a Logic Pro audio file in Soundtrack Pro:

1Select an audio region in the Logic Pro Arrange window.

2Choose Option > Audio > Open in c.

Soundtrack Pro opens and displays the audio file associated with the selected audio region.

Note: Logic Pro allows you to select any external editing application you wish to use. Logic Pro ships with Soundtrack Pro as the default external editing application. If you previously selected a different application, that name will be seen in the Logic Pro Options menu. To learn how to change an external editor in Logic Pro, see the Logic Pro User Manual.

To send the edited audio back to Logic Pro:

1After you’ve edited the audio in Soundtrack Pro, choose Process > Flatten All Actions to render your changes.

2Save the file by choosing File > Save.

Note: Logic Pro cannot read Soundtrack Pro project files directly. Files must always be saved as flattened audio files.

3Return to Logic Pro. The audio file that you edited in Soundtrack Pro automatically updates.

For more information, see the Logic Pro User Manual and the Soundtrack Pro User Manual.
