5.1 output from Soundtrack Pro?

I have FCP Studio 2, and would like to get into 5.1 mixing in Soundtrack Pro. I know you need some sort of intermediary device to output through, but if anyone could give me some specifics that'd be great. I've seen "M-Audio 410 interface" pop up in other threads, and was wondering if the Griffin Firewave is comparable (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/firewave/).
On a side note, I do have a Sony amplifier that is capable of 6.1 surround.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

hi
there is a common misconception about mixing surround audio and playback of encoded surround audio files - check this recent thread - my post is the 4th reply in the thread ...

Trouble with the round trip from Soundtrack Pro 2 to Final Cut Pro

I have edited a home movie together. I then have sent the sequence to Color for grading and then after completing the Color changes and Rendering. I sent it back to Final Cut Pro. It starts out working fine but during the transfer process it stops at somewhere between 50% and 60%. It is during the "Importing XML Data" phase. It just sits there and does not change and I have to force quit to get out of it. The exact same thing happens when I try to round trip from Soundtrack Pro 2 back to Final Cut Pro. So I am unable to make use of the changes I make in these programs.
This is a round trip process that I have successfully made many times before. Nothing has changed. I am working in Final Cut Studio 2 with the latest updates on an Intel Mac. Any advice on how to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence. Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files. I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right. Here's what I've done to force the issue. Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp. Create a new project. import the audio in the new project. And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project.
Good luck

Exporting from Soundtrack Pro - Trouble

I am having problems exporting from Soundtrack Pro. I haven't had these problems before.
I have tried to export a track to MP3 and to Compressor but all I get is the Exporting window and that's as far as it goes. It says, 'Time Remaining: Estimating...' but then that's it. I had even left it for a few hours and still nothing happened.
The program isn't frozen, just the export isn't working. Is this a common problem? Can it be fixed?
Many thanks.

I have the same problem...
I finished working on a project and when I tried to export it - it would start out just, tell me that it would be done in less than a minute and the just suddenly stop 1/4 of the way for no reason. Same thing happens whatever I do - in the same exact place. I spent a lot of time finishing this edit so I really want to get it back to FCP.
Can anyone help?

Reconnect Media from Soundtrack Pro

I exported a clip from FCP to Soundtrack Pro and cannot seem to Reconnect Media in FCP; when I go through the selection process to reconnect in FCP; I can pick it but the clip is still declared offline/missing. How do I get this fixed using FCP or Soundtrack Pro? Thanks.

I am trying to export a single track with audio from Soundtrack Pro. When I select File>Export, all of my export options are grayed out. I've tried highlighting the track and that didn't work. Any thoughts?
Is the menu item *File > Export* greyed out?
If so, it's probably because you have the audio open in the audio file editor. The only option from here is to Save As.
If you put the audio in a track of a multitrack project then File>Export should be available to you.

Space Designer from Soundtrack Pro

I currently have Final Cut Studio 2 and I just got Logic Express 8 on my MacBook Pro.
Soundtrack Pro includes the Space Designer effect, and I am wondering if anyone knows where the effect is stored on the hard drive (I could only find the presets) and, if whether Logic Express restrict me from using it or if Logic Express simply does not install it.

Simply you can't use SD into Logic Express.
cheers

What happened to all the cool sound effects from Soundtrack Pro?

I've recently had to upgrade my imac and macbook pro and my Final Cut Studio 7 isn't compatible with the newer verison Macs. How can I get access to the sound effects that came with the older garage bands and soundtrack pro applications? I've purchased Final Cut X and Logic Pro, but still seams as if the older verisons have better sound effects.

Have you a backup of your older system?
Then try to restore these folders from your backup to a folder on your Desktop and add all missing loops to your loop library in the corresponding folders: You'll find them in the "Library" folder directly at the top level of all files on your Macintosh HD:
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro/
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Final Cut Pro Sound Effects/
After you restored the folders with the loops use the command "Reindex all Loops" in the "Loops" drop down menu in the Loop Library.

Repost from soundtrack pro forum: advice needed on how to master a dj mix.

i posted the info below on the soundtrack pro forum and someone suggested i use waveburner to master my dj mix after it's been recorded:
when i record a mix in soundtrack pro, it's 1 long song. sometimes certain parts of the mix come in at a lower volume than other parts because some records or songs aren't as loud as the previous song that it was mixed out of.
how can i bring up the volume on the lower parts and make them equally as loud as the other songs? or, how do i level out the volume without making the mix sound worse?
any advice on getting the EQs and other settings right would be appreciated.
if anything's not clear, please let me know.

no, i have not. would waveburner be more appropriate for what i want to do post-mix?
if so, could you elaborate?
thanks for your response.

Render video pon audio import from Soundtrack Pro

Unique issue I have here. My video is standard NTSC Animation Codec and is in my Sequence in FCS2. I import my project into Soundtrack Pro edit my audio, Export back into FCS 2 (following the manual to insure proper steps).
Once I arrive back into FCS2 my video needs to be rendered. It checked the codec and everything matches up fine. Why is it now asking me to render mt video?

Paul,
Did you edit to picture inside STP? And was it in sync there?
You may have an issue with a frequency shift. Audio doesn't have frames. It really runs in "real time." So if you shift frequencies the units per second change. It still has the same number of units, so ultimately the time changes.
How did you get the audio into STP in the first place?

Files from soundtrack pro play really slow in FCP

I tired searching the threads and couldnt find an answer
I'm trying to lay down a music bed in FCP before i edit a sequence.
I went into SOundtrack pro and listened to it.. looping music bed 40.aiff
sounds awesome.
go over to fcp.. click on import and i find the file amongst my libary and stuff
then i laid it into my sequence and the playback is really slow.
i can;t figure it out.
any help guys?

Sorry it took so long for you to find an answer, happens sometimes. Your bump can bring the wrath of the forum curmudgeons down upon your weenie little head but you got a good response to a post that got lost off the bottom of the page.
You're going to find digital video is full of weird little gotchas like this audio sampling rate thingy. Frame rates. And pixel aspect ratios. And color spaces. &c. I remember when video was just luminance.

Poor iPhone video output from QT Pro

I am creating videos for my website using the File > Export for Web option in QuickTime Pro.
My problem is with the generated file for the iPhone "myfile-iPhone-cell.3gp". The video generated for the iPhone is very poor quality - it is very pixelated when streamed over the internet. I believe this is due to the fact that it is generated by QuickTime Pro at 176x109px, which is about 1/2 the size of the iPhone's actual screen. So, when it gets to the iPhone, it has to be "enlarged" and then gets grainy. If I stream a large dimension MP4 file, like 640x480px (from another software converter) into my iPhone, it looks really great.
So, I'm wondering why the programmers at Apple, who have direct access to the hardware and software, chose to output the iPhone-cell.3gp file at such a small dimension? Is there a way to correct this or am I stuck with what I get? I feel the video quality is not good enough to put on our corporate website.
Any advice on this is appreciated. Thanks.

The cell type movies are meant for ten-year old Nokias.
I feel the video quality is not good enough to put on our corporate website.
Then don't post it. Or enlarge it.
Use a larger export size. The iPhone type. It's for the iPhone: myfile-iPhone.m4v
It's not difficult to figure that out. And you seem to know the answer:
If I stream a large dimension MP4 file, like 640x480px (from another software converter) into my iPhone, it looks really great.
And why not try them all. Why not try? Why so helpless?

No Sound Output from Logic Pro 9

I recorded a 4-track performance in Logic Pro 9, but when I play it back the displays show that the sound is there but no sound comes out of my computer. Other files that I have recorded in Logic Pro 9 play fine. Any Suggestions?
My Preferences Core Audio is set to Built-in Output, with an I/O Buffer Size of 256, 24-Bit Recording, Unversal Track Mode and Software Monitoring. Audio Settings specify Automatic Management of Channel Strip Objects, Automatic Naming of Channel Strip Objects and Playback Pre-roll, with a sample rate of 44.100 kHz. My Apple Sounds System Preferences are set for Built-In/Internal Speakers, the output volume is all the way up, and the mute is off. I cannot figure out what is keeping the sound from coming out. Again, any ideas would be appreciated...

Here are some things to try.
You said you have core audio set to built in outout , yet you have an Apogee ensemble. Can you hear audio coming from the computer output?
Can you play other audio files from this session?
In the lower right hand corner of Logic in the arrange window there is a volume control, did you turn that down without realizing it?
Can you hear audio from another Logic Session?
Can you hear Audio From Itunes?

Audio Output from Mac Pro not working in XP

I'm trying to make the audio line output of the Mac Pro work in XP. the only sound comes from the motherboard or headphones in front of the computer.
Under audio devices say "realtech HD audio device" This is the Apple mac pro?
How do I turn the audio output on?

I think I resolved this! I had the same issues you have been having for a few months. I am actually running Vista. Here is what I did...
1. While booted to Windows I uninstalled boot camp
2. Re-installed boot camp from Leopard DVD
3. Installed boot camp update 2.1 (downloaded from Apple support, i know this is for XP only, but I updated anyway.)
4. Downloaded the realtek drivers (high definition audio codecs) from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
5. DO NOT use the Realtek installer to install the drivers...instead extract the contents to a folder.
6. Go to the device manager, locate the High Definition Audio device and updated the drivers from here (point to the folder where you extracted the drivers).
I now have sound out of the rear jack!! Hope this help someone
Regards,
Blaine

Jittery output from Premiere Pro

Hi.
I am creating wmv files from sets (say 300 frames) of still renders from 3DS Max. I originally created JPEG frames. The resulting wmv files were jittery/stuttery when played back in VCL or Windows Media player. I tried creating better quality TIFF files but the resulting wmv files were still jittery.
Has anyone any idea what could be causing this and what settings I could try. I have been through the obvious Bitrates/Codecs etc.
I am using Premiere Pro CS6 on 64 bit Windows 7 (SP1) Intel Quad Xeon 3.6 with 24Gb RAM. My graphic card is an NVidia Quadro 5000.
Thanks,
Terry

Hi Joe.
Many thanks. It was down to the fps. I couldn't find where the setting was to change the fps for the sequence. I eventually found it and also created a custom sequence with 30 fps. My fps from Max is 30 but when I first imported into Premier it came in as 25 (not sure why?). I also originally set up a standard widescreen sequence that was 29.97 fps. Now everything is at 30 fps it seems much better.
The playback is not perfectly smooth but much more acceptable. Are there any other settings when I export from Premiere that will help to make it smoother (e.g. bitrate/max render quality etc?) (I am completely new to Premier Pro).
When these are complete they are going into a Powerpoint. I find that no matter how good the wmv files are there is still some "jerkiness" in playback in PP. Any tips on this?
Many thanks,
Terry
