HELP! Export tracks of a multitrack project produces equal track file lengt

Hi,
i have a problem with multitrack projects. I have one aiff file open on track 1, then split it and spread the parts each on one individual track. I then want to export the project. In this stage a folder with one file for each track is created. The problem now is, that every file for each individual track has the same size and length as the longest track.
For the moment i have to open each single track file in the editor and cut off the oversized part at the end.
I just know that this was working on STP2. How can i change the export so that each track's exported file is only as long as the track actually is in STP?
Thanks for any help.
Daniel

I have recordings which are usually 2-3 hrs long, and i need to split these into smaller files so they are convenient to listen to.
In STP2 i get used to open the large file in a multitrack project, put it on track 1, then cut it off into smaller parts and place each part on a individual track. Then export it. It was working really good and the result was exactly what i need.
In STP3 it also works, with one difference. Each file for all the individual tracks have their correct content, but are all of the same size/length, means all are the same size/length of the longest track.
example:
lets say the large file is 60min long. I split it into 20 - 25 - 15 minutes. Put each onto a individual track and export all. Now all files are 25min long, but the shorter tracks are filled with a silent part to full the 25 min.
I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

Export *part* of a multitrack project?

I don't seem to be able to find what I'm looking for - I'd like to be able to export a section of a MT project , between markers perhaps, to a stereo file. There are work-arounds, but all of them are inconvenient. Any clues?

Hi Graeme,
Just click-drag in the ruler of the multitrack project to create a cycle region (In Soundtrack Pro 2.0 you can also set the in/out points by pressing the "i" or "o" keys respectively to set the in/out points at the current playhead position).
Then make sure that the cycle button is pressed (this is the second from the right in the main transport control area, and it looks like an oval sort of recycling loop). If it is pressed, it will look a but darker, and the cycle region on the ruler will be solid (not ghosted out)
Export your mix: File->Export -- you will just get an export of the cycle region.

How to exort tracks files out of garageband

hello,
someone can says me how to export tracks files out of garage band for others music software likes reason logic or something else
For itunes that's easier but for others software i dont know how i can do that.
thanks for your answer.
response at this adress if u can please [email protected]

Just solo each track separately and export them. Be sure to rename the export track 1, 2, etc. or it'll get confusing as they'll all have the same name. The result will be several .aiff files that should work in any recording application.

Exporting a single track out of a multitrack project

I am very new to soundtrack pro. I have used protools in the past, but nota whole lot. Im working on this project where I have multiple audio tracks that I am editing dead space out of. I brought them into STP and did all my editing. When I go to export the project it runs the length of the longest track no matter what I do. Is there a way to simply select track 1 and export that file only. At the moment I am just copying the edited track to a new project and exporting it that way, but I assume there is a much easy way.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I think the OP has tracks of different lengths, and doesn't want silence at the end (?) of the individual tracks he is exporting.
You could, however, do one of the methods above, and at the end of the last clip on the track to export, select *Set End of Project* from the Mark menu. I think that will end the clip at that point, no matter what comes after.
Hope this helps!

Re-opening a STP Multitrack Project after exporting Mixdown to FCP

Hello-
I'm running Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 with FCP 6.0.5 and am sending my sequences from the timeline to an STP Multitrack Project. I have edited the audio as needed, and exported the final mixed tracks back to FCP choosing .xml import and open in a new FCP Sequence for my options. The new sequence opens fine, complete with the new audio tracks lined up with the originals which are conveniently muted. Up until this point in my workflow, I'm good to go, and my exported audio sounds great - until I realized there were several more audio edits that I needed to make before finalizing the project.
Now, in the STP Manual, it states that to re-open a multitrack project after it has been exported to FCP is as simple as control-clicking the "mixdown" file (which is presumably the same thing as the imported .xml file...?) in the open sequence and clicking "Open in Editor." (Note: I do have my prefs in FCP set to STP for ext. audio AND video editors so that I can send over linked a/v files) BUT - it also says that when you click on "Open in Editor" that i should be prompted with the option to open only the audio file or open the project. After following these steps, I am not getting prompted to make this choice; the mixdown automatically opens itself in STP as the single .aiff audio file created during export and not as the original multitrack project, as the manual suggests.
Am I making a careless mistake somewhere in here that I am overlooking? Have I provided enough information to get the help that I need? Any help here would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
-Meghan

There is a mismatch somewhere which is causing this sync problem.
Next thing to try - does your STP project sample rate match the sample rate of the audio in your FCP project?
In the STP project, on the projects tab, is "none" selected in the pullup/pulldown section, both audio and video?
In some cases, changing a frame rate can change the speed of the video, causing sync problems, so the earlier discussion about frame rates wasn't just semantics or terminology issues. I understand your frustration, but I was trying to help by ruling frame rate problems out.

Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project - All I get are empty tracks

I have a sequence in Final Cut Pro that has a collection of clips and sequences inside of it. When I right click the sequence in the browser and select Send To -> Soundtrack Pro Multitrack project, it opens STP as it should. When STP opens, though, I have a correct video track, but all of the audio tracks are completely empty.
Am I doing something wrong here?

select the sequence in the browser and then send to STP
make sure the in & out are set correctly on the timeline

I am trying to export my project to an avi file, but its only exporting the audio, help?

I am trying to export my project to an avi file, but its only exporting the audio, help? I can open the avi file but there is not video. I am choosing uncompressed avi, 1080x720 frame rate 29.97, what can i do?

The above was a quote and AME is not necessary. From the Timeline selected Ctrl-M brings up the Export window. There select "AVI" and under Video Codec below select "None"

Nuke default PAN setting when expanding track view in multitrack project

I have not been able to find the following preference to change: When I expand the view of a track in a multitrack project, the default is for VOLUME and PAN to appear. I only want VOLUME. Every time I open a multitrack project after saving it with the PAN unchecked, it shows up again. Anyone know how to change the default settings for this?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I guess I did not miss some little option some place. Here is another default question for you: when I open a new multitrack project, SUBMIX 1 is always set to 1-6 SURROUND whereas I would prefer it to be 1-2 STEREO. At least that one seems to stay as STEREO after I have changed it and saved the project, but is there a way to change that default setting to have STEREO 1-2 in SUBMIX 1 from the start?

Sending multitrack Project from FCP to STP on another computer doesn't work

Hello,
I attempted to search the forums but can't find my specific problem mentioned. I apologize if I overlooked it!
I am attempting to send a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project from Final Cut Pro 6.01 to Soundtrack Pro 2.01 on another computer. When I do, the video comes through fine but the audio fails to transfer over.
Here's what I did:
First I open the Final Cut Project, highlight all the clips in the sequence to send and click "Send to Soundtrack Pro MultiTrack Project". I select all options including the "Fully Rendered Video" Option. This project opens up great in Sound Track Pro on the original computer. In Soundtrack Pro I "save as" and make sure I select "Collect Audio Files", "Collect unused audio files", & "Collect Video File". As far as I have read, this should be all I need to make sure all of the audio and video clips transfer together with the STP file.
However, when I place this folder (including the media files) on a external hard drive and transfer it on to our other computer (set up for audio recording and editing) and open it up in STP I get no audio. The clips visually transfer and all the clip lengths match up with the video, however there is no waveform showing. A straight line at 0db is all that shows up. I check the clips in the bin and they show the same file size as on the first computer. When I select an audio clip and take a look at the actions tab it shows the name of the clip and under it it says "insert silence" (which was not there on the original computer). When I de-select the insert silence the audio still does not play (the straight line on the waveform disappears). I try deleting the "insert silence" action and the same thing happens.
I have tried doing this operation mulitple ways with the same result. Am I doing something wrong? The only thing I can think of is the file starts out on OSX 10.4.11 and is transfered over to leopard 10.5. I just tried doing the reverse operation (creating the file from the audio computer and sending it to the video computer) and everything works fine. No idea what this means. I need this to work the other way around so I can begin the extremely intensive audio work on this film while our editor continues the video edits so thank you very much for any help that you can lend me. It is greatly appreciated.

Could be a difference in OS's causing the problem, but I can't say for sure. You could try using the OMF export option instead. I almost guarantee it will work.

How to open a multitrack project recorded in Protools in Logic 9

Howdy folks -
My band just recently recorded a multitrack project in Protools 10 that we'd like to import or open in Logic 9 for overdubs and the final mix and master. I haven't a clue how to do this. I've heard Protools will export or save to .omf which can then be opened in Logic. Or alternatively the Protools can render the tracks as audio files which can then be opened/imported to Logic. But how exactly does one go about this?
All the best,
Frank

Apologies for the late response. Thanks for your assistance. The OMF method worked. However, there were a couple of unanticipated issues.
Have used it on two songs so far.
1) on both songs each audio file was cut off before the end of the song
2) on the second song the audio files appeared 2 plus hours into the project!
It took a while but I discovered in the Sample Viewer that the end point of each audio file was set about a minute short of the actual end. Issue solved by dragging the end point to the actual end. Performed this on each file.
Second issue was more difficult because upon opening the .omf the tracks appeared but not the audio files. Opened the file a few times before noticing that the project time said two hours plus. After scrolling all the way to the end I saw the files and drug them to the beginning of the project. Again had to go into sample viewer to adjust the end point of each audio file. Fortunatley there were just 8 audio files per song and this wasn't some 96 track film score :-)
Whether this is a Pro Tools issue or a Logic issue is unclear. I described the issue to my producing partner as he created the omf files and he had no idea.
Anyone else experience this?

Stuttering in Multitrack Project - pursuing a solution

Working on 30 min DV project - sent to multitrack from FCP
On a G5 dual 2gh - 2.5 ram - 2nd internal hard drive for media - Soundtrack Pro 1.03 - OSX 10.4.5 - Quicktime 7.0.3 - m-audio firewire solo
The number of tracks I am using is 25 and at the moment they play fine.
The problem with stuttering for me revolves around clips that have been worked on in the waveform editor - removing clicks, hum, noise reduction. The clip that I am working on will play (after saving using reference) in the mix window perfectly. But previous clips that have been worked on will stutter.
And, Bounce realtime to action is not highlighted - so no need or can't pursue that course -- thought maybe would work like audio mixdown for FCP.
Have read many other posts with if not the same but similar problems. Are we facing a software or hardware problem?
Have repaired permisions - deleted preferences etc. - no change
Have had wicked crashes with too many tabs open. Have read other such posts.
Questions?
Is this hardware--
Do I need more ram?
Do I need a raid drive set up?
Do I need a third empty drive for scratch (as works to make photoshop with huge files behave)?
Or are there some setup or software tricks?
Is this project too long for Soundtrack Pro?
Has anyone had this work for them out there?
Called apple support - but they want $200-799 to answer question - eventhough I just got program. They consider this an advanced problem for Pro Support and only will deal with getting program "working".
Please help - if anyone has a working solution for this - it would a great use for many Soundtrack Pro users to find a set up or working process in which this could happen.
The only work around I can think of is to work in FCP and send the files to wave editor from there. Then do final mix in Soundtrack Pro.
Has anyone had any luck?

Thanks Collin - a solution seems to have been arrived at.
The program was corrupted with space designer not working correctly.
(exporting with space designer - tested on a new small project - showed that it caused a huge increase in reverb than what was heard on system)
Also M-audio firewire solo seems to not cause problems.
Now for the fix.
Using your advice, I now use space designer on a bus - because when used on a track that contains clips that have been worked on in the waveform editor to remove clicks and/or noise ( and especially more than one track), that clip will stutter - at least in large projects.
The re-install of the program did not go smoothly - apple helped me succeed at this. When re-installing - the culprit - space designer's presets and IR (impulse response) files did not appear on re-install. (saw on this board another person with similar issue) The problem was problaly caused by me - I removed the IR's thinking they could be corrupt. WARNING - If one does this, there is almost no way to re-install the program without wiping the hard disk clean. Apple helped in a work around by emailing me the missing file - and the program got up and going. I was recommended to do a complete hard drive wipe and re-install - haven't done it yet - probably should - but all seems to work okay. This seems to me more than a bit of a problem because what if the IR's do get corrupt and need to be replaced - then one must wipe the hard disk clean and start over? This is going to come up - especially since I see interesting 3rd part IR's on the web.
And, effects can not be placed in tracks, busses, and master out - in any manner on chooses. Soundtrack pro seems to work only when following "standard" audio effect placement.
FOR LARGER PROJECTS
a working proceedure for effect placement
TRACK based effects - are compressors, noise gate, EQ, and delay, chorusing or flanging
BUS based effects - are reverbs
MASTERING OUTPUT based effects - maximizers, warmers, c4 multiband
It would be great if an audio pro post on this board - a standard working process on the use of effects - it would be great since not using them in a standard order seems to give alot of the issues that I have read about.
Not answered on this or any board is
Best Hardware Setup - should be a new thread -
Does Soundtrack Pro benefit from/play best with--
more that 2.5 gig ram--
raid drive--
certain sound cards--
certain midi devices--

Set all clip levels to 0dB in a Multitrack project?

I'm using Audition CC2014, mostly to eq and finalise audio for Premiere Pro projects... When I bring all my audio into a Multitrack project in Audition I would love to be able to set all the clips and tracks to 0dB, getting rid of any rough keyframes and levels adjustments I did in Premiere (for the rough cuts)... Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, there is a way: simply open each clip in waveform view and choose to Normalise to 0dB! Not sure whether you can, as it were, "Batch Normalise" a group of files?
BUT, assuming you actually mean you are working in Multitrack view (which implies a number of audio clips on separate tracks but perhaps "playing simultaneously"), any balancing you have done to differentiate those clips (as per your comment re "keyframes and levels adjustment") will be lost and so will need to be redone.
Or have I misunderstood what you are asking?
Also, remember any changes made to your files in Waveform view are "destructive" - once the file is saved the "Undos" are lost. In Multitrack view the changes are not applied directly to the actual audio file; when you Export/Mixdown a "new" file is created but I don't think that you can "normalise" a file in that view.

Problem sending timeline from Final Cut to a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project

Hello,
Thank you in advance for reading. I am having trouble sending a timeline from Final Cut to a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project. Final Cut makes a new Soundtrack Pro project file just fine and opens Soundtrack Pro as it's supposed to, but the project in Soundtrack Pro only has a portion of my audio tracks. I've tried sending by control clicking the sequence in the browser and selecting 'Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project' as well as highlighting my entire timeline and doing the same. Both result in the same Soundtrack Pro proejct with about 1/3 of my total 48 audio tracks (lots of sound FX).
I'm using Final Cut 7.0.2 and Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1 My computer is a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8, 2.26 ghz intel core 2 duo, 4 gb ram.
Any suggestions (or workarounds, if it comes to that) anyone has will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again, Gabe

Try building the project to your desktop and then open the Video_TS in the Mac DVD player application.
How does it play/sound? This application is the best way to see and hear how your burned DVD should play vs. just using simulator and burning.
Just to clarify- are you taking your FC QT file into Compressor and creating a MPG-2 and AC3 file or are you bringing your FC QT directly into DSP?
What codec are you exporting from FC? ProRes422, DV, H264?
Open the FC QT in QT and apple+I to see this.
What does it say for audio?
