Edit audio in Adobe Soundbooth

Edit audio in Adobe Soundbooth

While working in After Effects, you may want to use the more comprehensive audio-editing capabilities of Adobe Soundbooth to fine-tune your
audio. You can use the Edit In Adobe Soundbooth command to start Soundbooth from within After Effects.
Note: In After Effects CS6, the Edit > Edit in Adobe Soundbooth menu and command have been removed. Use the Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition
command instead.
If you edit an audio-only file (for example, a WAV file) in Soundbooth, you change the original file. If you edit a layer that contains both audio and
video (for example, an AVI file), you edit a copy of the source audio file.
1. Select the layer that contains the audio that you want to edit. The item must be of a type that is editable in Soundbooth.
2. Choose Edit > Edit In Adobe Soundbooth to open the clip in Edit view in Soundbooth.
3. Edit the file, and then do one of the following:
If you’re editing an audio-only layer, choose File > Save to apply your edits to the original audio file, or choose File > Save As to apply
your edits to a copy of the audio file. If you choose File > Save As, you need to re-import the copy of the file into After Effects.
If you’re editing a layer that contains both audio and video, choose File > Save As. After you save the file, import it into After Effects, add
it to the composition, and mute the original audio in the audio-video clip by deselecting the Audio switch in the Timeline panel.
Note: Any effects applied to audio in After Effects aren’t included in the copy that is sent to Soundbooth.
