Chapter 3 Getting Started With Soundtrack Pro 53

For example:

Â If you enter 01.23, and the Time ruler units are set to seconds, Soundtrack Pro

interprets it as 00:00:01.23. This stands for 1 second and 23/100 of a second.

Â If you enter 0.12.34, Soundtrack Pro interprets it as 00:00:12.34. This stands for 12

seconds and 34/100 of a second.

You can select only part of the position in the Time display and enter a new number for

that position. For example, you can select only seconds, or minutes and seconds. The

other categories keep their present values. You can enter a time position in timecode

format, in a way similar to the way you enter timecode in Final Cut Pro.

Entering Beats-Based Units

When you set the playhead by entering a Beats-based position in the Time display, you

enter periods between numbers to separate measures, beats, and beat divisions.

Soundtrack Pro fills out the digits in the beat division category with zeros.

For example:

Â If you enter 123, Soundtrack Pro interprets it as 123.1.000. This stands for the 123rd

measure, 1st beat, with no added beat divisions.

Â If you enter 12.3, Soundtrack Pro interprets it as 12.3.000. This stands for the 12th

measure, the 3rd beat, with no added beat divisions.

Â If you enter 1.2.3, Soundtrack Pro interprets it as 1.2.300. This stands for the 1st

measure, the 2nd beat, and 300/1000ths of a beat (because each beat division is 1/

1000 of a beat).

You can select only part of the position in the Time display and enter a new number for

that position. For example, you can select only measures, or measures and beats. The

other categories keep their present values.

Setting the Playhead Using the Playhead Position Value Slider

Below and to the left of the transport controls is the Playhead Position value slider.

When a project is playing, the Playhead Position value slider constantly updates to

show the current position of the playhead. You can set the playhead by entering a new

position in the Playhead Position value slider.

The units shown in the Playhead Position value slider depend on the project time

format. For projects set to Time-based time format, the units appear as timecode, using

the currently selected Time ruler units. For projects set to Beats-based format, the units

appear as measures, beats, and beat divisions at the current tempo.

You can change the value in a value slider in one of several ways: you can enter a new

value, by changing the value incrementally using the Decrement and Increment arrows,

or by dragging the slider left or right.
