How Do I Lengthen Tracks in Soundbooth?

Adobe stopped supporting Soundbooth after the release of CS 5.5.

Soundbooth Scores are downloadable music files that function only in the Adobe Soundbooth audio editor. Each Soundbooth Score contains a series of audio clips arranged in a specific order. You can use these files to generate background music for your audio and video productions. Although most of a Soundbooth Score's parameters are preset, you can adjust some of the settings, including the audio's intensity and the length of the Soundbooth Score track.

Instructions

1. Launch Soundbooth. Click the Windows menu and select "Scores."

2. Drag-and-drop the Score track you want to lengthen into the multitrack editing view.

3. Move the mouse over the right-hand edge of the track until it changes into a "]" symbol. Click-and-drag the edge of the track to the right until the track is approximately the desired length.

4. Double-click the Clip Duration field in the Properties pane on the left-hand side of the Soundbooth window to fine-tune the track's length. Type in the exact desired length of the track, using the format "Hours:Minutes:Seconds.Milliseconds." Press "Enter" to adjust the length of the track.

Tips & Warnings

• To lengthen a previously shortened audio clip, click-and-drag its right-hand edge.
