Adobe Soundbooth CS4

Adobe Soundbooth CS4 software gives web designers and developers, video editors, motion graphics artists, and other creative professionals the tools to create and edit audio in film, video, FLV and SWF files, and other creative projects. Make short work of everyday audio needs with a smooth workflow that features task-based tools and tight integration with Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium and Web Premium software.

Features:

Adobe Sound Document (ASND) file format:
Take advantage of the new Adobe Sound Document format, which packages multiple tracks into an ASND file that can be shared easily with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Flash CS4 Professional, or After Effects CS4 software without modifying the original file.

Looping tools:
Create loops more easily with automatic beat detection. You can adjust the in and out points by individual beats and adjust the minimum and maximum frequency, as well as the beat detection sensitivity.

Volume keyframing:
Easily adjust the volume of your dialogue and sound effects tracks, or adjust the volume of your audio over time.

Soundbooth Scores and improved workflow:
Easily locate and preview royalty-free Soundbooth Scores in Resource Central (Internet connection required). Select a Soundbooth Score and customize it to match your project. Browse downloaded Soundbooth Scores by different genres with the easy-to-use Scores panel.

Speech Search:
Turn spoken dialogue into text-based, timecode-accurate metadata that makes your video searchable. Search keywords to locate and display what you're looking for — or even cut video based on the script.

MP3 Compression Preview:
Preview the sound quality of different MP3 compression settings, and view the new file size before committing to specific compression settings to achieve the results you want.

Automatic volume correction:
Equalize volume with one click, or use new volume-matching functionality to quickly match the volume of multiple clips to one another or to a single reference volume level.

Visual tools for healing sound:
Use tools like those in Adobe Photoshop software to visually identify, select, and remove unwanted sounds from a revealing spectral display of your waveform.
