Soundtrack pro help needed

I know this isnt the right section but I am not getting any response in the soundtrack pro section and was wondering if someone who used fcp could tell me the best way to knock out the back ground traffic noise in a tape, like they show you when they take out the boat noise and just have the vocals. Any help would be appreciated

If it is a steady sound of traffic such as a freeway -- so a white noise of sorts -- then you can probably get good results in STP. I just checked and the instructions for noise reduction are on page 168 in the STP user manual. It explains it better detail than I can. If you have horns honking or really sharp, vivid sounds then it will be impossible to do much.

Quciktime pro help needed please help help help help please

We are trying to view our video rushes from a Lacie harddrive hooked up to our Mac laptop. These are supposed to be run through quicktime, which we have installed on the laptop as well as having just bought quicktime pro. However, we keep getting a message that the quicktime we are using has missing components and we need to upgrade, which we have done. But we still are only to get sound on the rushes and not the video images.
We are desperate to see these rushes before our editor gets them and starts to edit. Which means we need to see them now. If anyone is up now and can help and call us to give us advice, we would be most grateful. We will of course call you straight back or if you prefer we can chat on MSN my user name is [email protected]

Hi Mary,
Following our tel. chat I asked the question and, as I suspected, it is a codec issue. In addition it is also a processor speed issue. Below is a reply from Dave Sawyer. a fellow L4, regarding this issue:
I agree also that a single-processor G4 system almost certainly isn't going to handle uncompressed HD content. That's what the Pixlet codec is for; so film producers can view HD content on systems less than DP/Quad G5s. I think they're going to either have to work with more powerful systems (and make sure that they're running FCP5 on them) or get the cameraman to send them the content encoded in Pixlet.
I realise that this may be too late as far as yourselves viewing these video rushes before they go to the editor but hopefully the above info will assist you in the future.

Problems with my MAC PRO, Help needed please!

Im a photographer using a MAC PRO 2x2 GHz DUAL-CORE INTEL Xeon, MEMORY 1GB 667 mhZ with a Samsung SyncMaster 215tw.
My problem is, on several of my images that I open on either Photoshop cs2 or even Preview I noticed that my blacks look overly pix elated or solarize simple looks like a broken image. I had the image sent to my roommate's Imac and saw the same image there and it looked perfect but not on my Mac Pro. I wondering what's causing this problem. thank you very much.

Hi again,
Just wondering: by any chance do you have a website where you could upload (at least) one of those photos so I (and we) could get a look at it ourselves?
I use Photobucket.com, I created an separate album there I call "Illustrated Explanations" where others can see (and even copy) examples of photos I want to share or get feedback on.
I like your choice of color profiles for the SynchMaster (Adobe RGB 1998), but are those photos also given the same color profile? If not - there may be a "conflict" between the different profiles which could explain your problem. But there's more to it than that -
Yes, you should have clicked the "Calibrate" button and gone through the calibration steps presented to you. Right now, on the Displays - Color panel, I have three calibration settings for the SynchMaster. First is the original, 2nd one is my first try at re-calibrating and the third is my final * I hope!* calibration. You have to enter a name for each calibration profile you create, mine are: "SyncMaster," "SynchMaster1" and "SynchMaster2." The last is the one the monitor is set to.
As you see, you can do this several times if needed. But if the problem is not eliminated by this procedure, then I would (very much!) think you have a bad monitor and should have it serviced or replaced.

Flash pros help needed with code

I have been given task and dont know where to start.
I need to produce a small quiz that sends the selected values to an asp.net application form there populates the database with the values chosen.
Ive been told this is the best way to send values from flash to a database.
Can anyone help in how id even go about this?
below is a work flow of what i need to do.
thanks,

if all your radio buttons have the same group name (say gn), you can use:
var sendLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
var receiveLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
receiveLV.onData=function(src){
// do whatever
sendLV.data=gn.selection.data; // assuming your radio buttons have data assigned
etc
sendLV.sendAndReceive("submit.aspx",receiveLV,"POST"); // assuming your asp si expecting posted variables.

Sync iphone 4s with new macbook pro help needed

I have a new iPhone 4s and a new MacBook Pro.
I have synced the iPhone 4s with my old MacBook.
It won't now sync all of that data with my new MacBook Pro.
I do not want to transfer all data from my old computer to my new computer.
How can I move just iPhone 4s data?
I have tried iExplorer to try and get the data directly from the phone,
but I am not tech savvy to put the info. in the right folders of itunes, etc.
Any step by step help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
Kell

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE (Dominator Pro) - help needed

If I buy MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE laptop, and if I want to clean install Windows 7 into it (it becomes with Windows 8.1 pre-installed), do I have to configure something, why I ask is that this laptop has 256 Gb SSD MSI Super RAID and I assume that it needs some configuring to get it work like it should. It's not like HDD though.

No, you shouldn't need to configure anything except changing some settings in the BIOS (set it to boot in Legacy mode), and I would also ensure that you use the MSI Burn Recovery tools to make a recovery DVD(s) or recovery USB, in case you decide to ever go back to Windows 8.

IMac G5, cannot install OS X-Pro help needed

Hi, i have an iMac G5, a broken internal CD/DVD, the original OS X cd (10.0.3), firwire is OK, external Lacie firewire DVD is OK. I cannot get the iMac to recognise the OS X install CD. It recognises a Panther CD. I used a iBook and firewire to set up the new hard disk. I then used the restore finction on the iBook to write the 10.0.3 to the new hard drive as a restore action. Booted up the iMac G5 and just the question mark, nothing!. Have tried so many variables and different combinations over the last 4 days. Ive looked up loads of stuff on the tinternet and tries to be creative but no go. Anyone got any ideas? I thought maybe an image would work but how do I install an image without an OS on the hard disk already, can I do it from OpenFirmware?
Here is summary of test
. used original 10.0.3 cd with external Lacie firewire DVD/CD drive-cd not recognised when using 'alt' key
. used Panther cd with external Lacie firewire DVD/CD drive-nothing-iMac recognises it but will not let me install-I guess because it does not match the iMac
. used disk utility from iBook and target mode on iMac to action restore using 10.0.3 as source, new hard disk (320GB partitioned into 3) as target, iMac does not boot
. old hard disk was unserviceable, reclaimed data and it was thrown away
. put 10.0.3 cd into iBook cd drive, firewire link, used target mode on iBook and alt key on iMac to use iBook cd drive as source, CD not recognised.
. anyone got a 10.0.3 image or CD I can ftp down?

Phil, Welcome to the discussion area!
...the original OS X cd (10.0.3)...
Is this a typo? None of the iMac G5s came with OS 10.0.3. The first iMac G5s came with OS 10.3.5. The iMac G5 will NOT recognize any OS earlier than the one that shipped with it.
. anyone got a 10.0.3 image or CD I can ftp down?
No and you would get to meet Apple's lawyers up and personal if you did.

Soundtrack Pro making a LOT of files - used to working in Logic, need help

So I'm used to working with Logic Studio/7.2/etc, and it's my first foray into working with Soundtrack Pro at work. My questions are this: When I use the razorblade tool (since I can't find an equivalent to the split tool in logic) in soundtrack to cut up a sequence, it seems to be creating a LOT of extra files:
http://www.1217design.com/pics/stp_question.png is an example of what I mean. Is this supposed to happen? The recorded files themselves were done in FCP and sent to Soundtrack Pro via the Send to STP Multitrack session function.
What I'm trying to find out is: Is this supposed to be happening? How can I stop this from happening? Are all of these extra files necessary in order to export the final project? And what will happen if I delete them?
I just want to know because the folder is now 4.71gb for a 30 second audio file (the final aif export is roughly 30mb), and there's over 200 of these extra files that have been created in the process of working on this project.
If this is what is necessary to work in Final Cut then I won't be able to work with FCP due to size issues (which is a shame as I feel so much more comfortable working within that environment than I do working in FCP).
Thanks for the help in advance,
Sean

By doing this, will it still create all of those extra files? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Is it just from the blade tool being used?
For all edits, yeah, baby, STP will generate more files than cows create methane.
First, I know what works for me, but I'm still learning, so I strongly encourage you to keep a COMPLETE BACKUP of all projects until you know your workflow. Also, you may have Preferences set up differently than I do, so you may not find the same paths as what I describe here.
When you have an audio file the way you want it, and you're confident that you won't need those edit files again (be SURE) Process > Flatten All Actions (or Audible Actions) and Save that audio file. Then -- as I understand it so far -- you can safely trash all the edits related to that file. (If you use Photoshop or similar visual programs, it's the same idea.)
During my first few weeks of intensive STP work, my drive grew more and more sluggish, for no reasons known to me. I saw disk space shrinking rapidly. Finally I figured it had to have something to do with STP, so I started searching and eventually I found my edits piling up in home/Documents/Soundtrack Pro Documents, especially (for me) in Edited Media. Since they all came from projects I'd finished and exported to AAC and MP3, I was comfortable trashing them all. Suddenly, whoa, I had an extra 12 GB of disk space available.
Just keep those edit files until you are CERTAIN that you know what you're doing and that you're DONE. Otherwise, when some project needs one precious little 3MB turn of a phrase, you may find yourself confronting suicidal or homicidal tendencies.
I welcome further clarification and/or correction from people who know more and can explain it better.
Best,
chuck

Completely new to Soundtrack Pro - need help for school project

I've never used Soundtrack Pro before, but I need to record and modify some dialogue for a project for one of my classes, and I think that's the only audio program we have on the computers in the lab I'm using.
Can I use Soundtrack Pro to record myself reading lines of dialogue? And then modify the audio tracks? I don't want the characters in my project to sound like me, I want them more high-pitched and cartoonish, like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, yeah you can select your audio and using the *Process menu* choose eitherr the +Pitch>Pitch Shifter II+ or the +Mac OS > Pitch+ plug in to shift the pitch. I think Pitch may be better for what you want.
You can also look under the *Process menu* and find +Time Stretch+ which you can use to speed up your audio if desired.
Don't forget the Undo command -z

URGENT- I need help: Soundtrack Pro Freezing Problem!!

I just sent my FCP project to a multitrack project in Soundtrack Pro, but when i want to work on the Soundtrack Pro project, everything keeps freezing. its dead slow!
i can barely do anything with it!
whats the problem? and how can i solve it?

Couple of possibilities. One, your media files are huge. STP reference the entire media of a clip edited in FCP . . . not just the edited portion. That can result in some large files being brought over. Also, when you send a clip over, use the base layer option if you can, or export an mp4 to bring in to STP.
If you're ready to do the post audio work on a finished FCP project, export an omf file. Close FCP, then open the omf file in STP. That can help.
Other "obvious" but still good to review considerations . . . have enough RAM? Is there enough disk space? Are you using a different media drive than where the system is located?
