Who uses Adobe Soundbooth?
Video editors and other video professionals use Soundbooth for a variety of common audio 
tasks. With the benefits of a familiar timeline-based interface and tight integration with Adobe 
Premiere Pro, Soundbooth makes it easy for video editors to fix problematic production dialogue. 
Clearly labeled tasks facilitate such typical edits as removing various types of noise and matching 
unequal dialogue volume levels. 
Interactive designers use Soundbooth to record dialogue and voice-overs and add sound effects 
and music to rich media. Using the multitrack editor in Soundbooth and the ability to export cue

entire soundtracks, which can then be opened directly in Flash Professional.
Top new features of Adobe Soundbooth CS5
Improved multitrack editing
High-impact visual media depend on effective use of sound and music, and Soundbooth CS5 
makes it easy to place sonic elements precisely to create the perfect blend of dialogue, voice-
over, music, and sound effects. With the improved workflow in multitrack edit mode, you can 
mix and edit multitrack projects faster and with more control. For example, you can resize the 
tracks in Multitrack View to view entire multitrack projects at once or to zoom in on specific 
tracks. Split, move, and copy audio clips more easily with enhanced clip editing; these 
improvements let you align sound clips to specific points in a scene, duplicate clips within a 
track, or move clips between different tracks.
