Audio Montage

An audio montage is a multichannel and multitrack non-destructive editing environment.

You can import audio files into audio montages. As soon as they are part of the audio montage, audio files are referred to as "clips". As clips are just referenced representations of the original audio files, in the audio montage, you can edit and alter them as you like, without affecting the original audio files.

The non-destructive editing functions include both track- and clip-based effects, volume and pan automation, as well as a variety of features for fading and crossfading. Multichannel support enables you to create surround mixes.

Audio montages are particularly suited for album/audio CD creation, mastering, multimedia work, radio spot production, etc.

Note

Audio montages can contain an unlimited number of stereo tracks, mono tracks, null test tracks, and picture tracks, up to three reference tracks, and a video track. You can use them to structure your work graphically or logically. Depending on the channel configuration of the audio montage, you can route each track to a stereo output or to different surround channels or non-surround audio channels.

The number of clips that you can place on a track is unlimited.

In addition to the reference to a source audio file on your hard disk, clips contain information about the start and end positions in the file, which means that clips can play back sections of the source audio files. Any number of clips can reference the same source file.
