Top new features of Adobe Soundbooth CS4

Multitrack support
Sound for visuals usually comprises a variety of different elementsÑdialogue tracks give voice to actors, animated characters, and featured talent; voice-overs supply narrative context; sound effects and ambient sounds create atmosphere and aural depth cues; and music provides emotional cues. The ability to work with multiple audio tracksÑthe new feature most requested by Adobe Soundbooth CS3 usersÑgives you the power to assemble all the elements of a complex soundtrack into a final audio mixdown.

New Adobe Sound Document
The new Adobe Sound Document (ASND) file format enables nondestructive audio editing, so you can always return to the original source files. The ASND document can be easily shared with Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, and Adobe After Effects CS4.

Automatic volume matching
Equalizing volume levels within a specific file can be a challenge. In interviews, for example, sometimes speakers' voices are captured at different volume levels. The equalize-volume feature in Adobe Soundbooth CS4 can correct this kind of problem with a single click. You can also use the new volume-matching functionality to quickly match the volume of multiple clips to each other or to a single reference volume level.

Volume keyframing
Volume keyframing lets you adjust the volume of your dialogue and sound-effects tracks or adjust the volume of your audio over time. The volume keyframing feature is especially useful when you create podcasts. Soundbooth lets you record directly into a track, duck vocals, improve the quality and sound of your voice, and add sound effects.

MP3 compression preview
When you want to output work in MP3 format, the MP3 compression preview allows you to preview the sound quality at whatever bit rate you select and see the consequent file size before saving. As a result, you can save time and increase efficiency by previewing sound quality before you commit to specific compression settings to achieve the results you want.

Improved integration with other Creative Suite 4 software
Convenient roundtrip editing saves you time. Now you can use the Edit In Adobe Soundbooth command from within Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, or Adobe After Effects CS4 to send assets directly to Soundbooth, where you can clean up or enhance your audio. After your edits are complete, the files automatically update in the timeline or project window of your Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 or Adobe After Effects CS4 project.

Adobe Dynamic Link workflows
When Soundbooth is installed as a component of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, you can save time when opening Adobe After Effects CS4 compositions or Adobe Premiere Pro sequences directly in Soundbooth by using the innovative Adobe Dynamic Link. Dynamic Link eliminates the need for intermediate rendering by creating a direct link between new or existing assets in select Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium components. Any changes made in one application are quickly reflected in the other.

Improved editing capabilities
Soundbooth provides instant cut, copy, and paste functions as well as on-clip editing tools such as trim, fade, and volume control. With just one click, you can fix, boost, or otherwise modify audio assets to better meet the needs of your production. You can even stretch audio assets to match the length of your scene. Improved spectral editing lets you edit your audio visually.

Looping tool enhancements
Looping enhancements in Adobe Soundbooth CS4 increase your creative options and save you time. Automatic beat detection makes it even easier to create seamless loops: Beats are displayed as orange lines, and you can adjust the in and out points by individual beats until you get a loop you like.

With Speech Search, text extracted from dialogue tracks is searchable, editable, and exportable. The text maintains timecode accuracy, so selecting a word (above) causes the CTI to jump to that portion of the clip (right). Click to enlarge.

Additional Soundbooth Scores and improved workflow
You don't need a recording studio or a computer loaded with specialized music software to create soundtracks for your projects when you can jump-start your audio efforts with customizable, pre-existing content conveniently accessible in Soundbooth. Free Soundbooth Scores are available online through Resource Central, and you can also purchase additional Soundbooth Score bundles through Resource Central (Internet connection required).

In Adobe Soundbooth CS4, you can use multiple scores in a multitrack environment, which also allows you to layer scores. You can also change the length of a score, the intensity, and the levels of various instrumentsto match just the mood and pacing you want. Then place the music beneath a voice-over, add sound effects to bring impact to your visuals, and use Soundbooth to alter the tone and volume at various points based on what's going on visually.

Speech Search
Use New Speech Search technology in Adobe Soundbooth CS4 to turn spoken dialogue into text-based metadata that makes your video searchable. This new capability solves one of the biggest challenges in taking audio and video online by automatically turning any spoken word into a keyword that points precisely to the places in a clip where the word is spoken. This unleashesconsiderable power, for post-production and Web professionals, and all of us who watch video online. During the editing process, creative professionals can use Speech Search to quickly find the relevant points in a particular clip, or easily locate the right clip based on what gets said in it. Equally important, the time-accurate text that corresponds to spoken words is embedded in the output you render from Adobe Soundbooth CS4, so your audio and video is searchable by other tools that can read XMP metadata, such as search and indexing engines.
