The Multi-track View of AV Music Morpher presents a non-destructive way of creating layered sound compositions. Multi-track View consists of numerous tracks, which you may fill with audio clips, arranging them at different timeline positions. To listen to the result you do not need to mix all the tracks down - they are played simultaneously brining the mixed sound to the output. This is extremely convenient as you can adjust your mixes on the fly by moving the clips or adding the new ones. You can also edit the waveform of each clip and apply the desired effects. Finally, when you are satisfied with the result you can mix your multi-track session down to a file.
In this tutorial, you will record a small voice presentation to a file, insert that file to a track, add some background music to another track, adjust the position and the duration of both audio clips, change the volume of your background music and finally mix all that down to a file.
