Perfecting Audio Quality in SoundTrack Pro

The tutorial is from a product that has been discontinued and uses an older version of SoundTrack Pro, though the functionality has not meaningfully changed since then, so the knowledge should transfer.

You’ll have to endure a ten-second advertisement for my new book at the start of the tutorial. My obvious goal is that you’ll be so blown away by the tutorial that you’ll madly go out and order the book, but we’ll see. Call it an experiment in content marketing.

The video has a resolution of 1024×768, but is displayed in a 640×480 player to fit on this webpage. It should look great at full screen, so give that a shot for a big picture view.

If you like to learn by reading, rather than watching, check out this tutorial that covers most of the same material.

Anyway, without further ado, here’s the tutorial.
