Adobe Soundbooth CS5 
What’s New
Expanded library of royalty-free Soundbooth Scores and sound effects
Kick-start your soundtrack with a dramatically expanded selection of royalty-free content: 
Soundbooth CS5 now offers access to the enhanced Resource Central
panel, where you’ll find 
more than 10,000 sound effects and more than 130 customizable Soundbooth Scores. Scores are 
easily identified by genre in Resource Central, which you access from within Soundbooth; just click 
the Play button next to the title of each Soundbooth Score to hear a preview. Drag and drop sound 
effects or Soundbooth Scores from Resource Central into your multitrack project to customize, 
combine, and layer them. Soundbooth Scores include not just music, but ambience and 
environmental sounds as well. Combine scores and sound effects until your soundtrack sounds 
exactly the way you want, and it’s ready to send back to Adobe Premiere Pro or Flash Professional 
for final export.
Soundbooth Scores: Flexible music and ambience for any production
Soundbooth Scores are extremely flexible and configurable. Professionally composed, each Score 
is a multipart instrumental performance or a mix of instrumental and ambient sounds. Each 
self-contained score has clearly marked sections such as intros, endings, and thematic variations. 
You can easily align start and end times of a score with the length of a scene simply by dragging the 
start and end points. Internal sections are automatically stretched or shortened to keep the 
integrity of the performance consistent. If you need to shorten a scene by a few seconds, just drag 
the end points to match the new length, and your soundtrack is automatically adjusted. 
Intuitive controls make it easy to configure a score to match changes in mood and intensity 
throughout a scene. By adjusting controls for intensity, atmosphere, and lead (an instrumental 
variation), you can change the complexity and mood of the performance to evoke just the right 
level of emotion for your scene. These controls can be adjusted overall in the Properties tab, and 
you can also set their levels on the score itself to coincide with hit points in the scene.
Sound effects: Much more than explosions
Crashes, explosions, and tire screeches are great to have in a sound effects library; they can save 
you a lot of expense, not to mention threats to life and limb. But a good sound effects library offers 
much more than bangs and booms. Among the 10,000+ sound effects available through 
Soundbooth in Resource Central
*,
 you’ll find sounds that can not only punctuate a scene, but set it 
entirely. A wide variety of sound effects is easily accessible in Resource Central, organized in clearly 
labeled categories such as Sports, Transportation, Household, Human Elements, Liquids/Water, 
Weather, and others.
* See the last page for details and limitations related to all Adobe online services.
The Properties panel indicates the start 
and end times and duration of a 
Soundbooth Score, as well as settings 
related to its instrumentation, 
complexity, intensity, or other 
performance parameters.
Select Soundbooth Scores by music 
genre from among the expanded 
selection of Scores in the Resource 
Central* panel; downloaded scores 
are indicated by green checkmarks. 
Each Soundbooth Score has 
several performance parameters 
that can be adjusted directly on 
the score clip itself using 
keyframes.
