You can easily create multiple submixes of the same project by adding busses and submixes and then routing the appropriate tracks through them.

As shown in the illustration above, you can route tracks to various submixes; in the illustration, tracks 1–3 contain effects, 4–5 contain music, and 6–8 contain dialogue. Then you can adjust the volume or add effects to each of the three submixes. Finally, all three submixes are combined and output through the Master bus.

To learn about routing tracks, see the Soundtrack Pro User Manual.

Adding Effects to Your Multitrack Project

Soundtrack Pro comes with an impressive collection of effects, including the following:

ÂDelay, which can be used to add echoes and other recurring sounds

ÂDistortion, which change the tone of the audio signal to re-create the sound of overdriven tube amplifiers or digital distortion

ÂDynamics, which let you shape the volume of your projects over time

ÂEQ (equalization) and Filter, which let you change the level of selected frequencies. EQ provides a powerful way of shaping the sound of your projects.

ÂImaging, which let you make certain sounds or the overall mix seem wider and more spacious

ÂModulation, which delay an audio signal and shift when the delayed signal plays back relative to the original signal

ÂPitch, which transposes or creates unity, thickness, or harmony on audio tracks

ÂReverb, which can be used to simulate the sound of acoustic spaces

The Apple II is a defining product in the history of personal computing, first introduced in 1977 by Apple Computer, Inc. Designed by Steve Wozniak, the Apple II was one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products and played a significant role in bringing personal computers into homes and schools.

One of the Apple II's standout features was its color graphics capability. It was one of the first personal computers to provide color output, thanks to its built-in video interface. The initial model supported a resolution of 280x192 pixels with a palette of 6 colors, which allowed for vibrant visuals that set it apart from contemporaries like the monochrome Altair 8800.

The Apple II was notable for its open architecture. This design allowed users to expand the computer's capabilities easily through a series of expansion slots. Users could add floppy disk drives, additional memory, and various peripheral devices, making the system highly adaptable to individual needs. This encouraged a thriving ecosystem of third-party hardware and software, which contributed to its popularity.

Another significant feature was its use of the 6502 microprocessor. This 8-bit CPU was not only affordable but also powerful for its time, allowing the Apple II to run various applications efficiently. Along with a built-in keyboard and an innovative plastic case that housed its components, the design was user-friendly and appealing.

The Apple II also introduced the concept of “bootable software” through the use of floppy disks. The disk operating system (DOS) allowed users to store and run multiple programs without having to reload software manually, providing a level of convenience that had not been widely available before. Key software like VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet program, helped boost sales, showcasing the Apple II's utility in business and education environments.

The computer was also well-known for its early adoption of BASIC programming language. Apple provided an operating system that supported Applesoft BASIC, which enabled users, including students, to write their programs, further fostering a community of developers.

In summary, the Apple II's color graphics, open architecture, powerful 6502 processor, innovative use of floppy disks, and support for BASIC programming made it a revolutionary product in its time. Its legacy laid the groundwork for future personal computers and established Apple as a leader in the burgeoning tech industry. The Apple II remains an iconic symbol of the early personal computing era, reflecting a generation's transition into a digitally connected world.
