How to fix camcorder audio in Soundtrack Pro

Hi all,
I just finished editing my short film in Final Cut Pro. The footage was awesome, however, the audio was horrible. I shot this footage using Panasonic PV-GS320, a pretty descent 3CCD camera. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any external mic output, which makes it flaw.
My question is: is it possible to "fix" this problem using Soundtrack Pro? To fix meaning to change it from a typical, cheap camcorder audio to a professional boom microphone (louder, clearer, and better).
The sound from this camera isn't that bad, actually (because although it doesn't come with any external microphone output, it does have "zoom microphone" -- whatever that means), BUT if you were a sound artist/ filmmaker/ college film instructor, you would know that my project wasn't done using an external microphone -- thus you would think that it's just a typical short movie that will end up on Youtube -- and you wouldn't give me a good grade for it.
SO is it possible to make some changes in Soundtrack Pro? I would really, really appreciate it if you guys could help me with this problem.
Thanks very much!

Hi Joe,
It is possible - within reason - to undertake some cleaning up of audio within STP. I am in the middle of doing this myself.
Take a look at this great article that explains the round trip between FCP and STP plus the various tools on offer and what they can do: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/soundtrack_pro_newspencer.html
Best of luck, Mike

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

    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

  • Anybody know how to fix the audio while watching movies on first generation apple tv?

    Anybody know how to fix the audio while watching movies on first generation apple tv? On my apple tv, I can hear audio for music, music videos, youtube, internet radio and even movie previews! But..... when I pay for the rental download of a movie there is no audio - just visuals. I am connecting with hdmi. When I connect an apple tv 2nd generation to the same amp and tv, using same hdmi and even same power lead and same settings then there is no problem! Anybody know how I can get audio to work for movies for this?

    that makes sense and good point but no don't think so. Where would I check that setting? I had same problem on my next gerneration apple tv (black model) but when I switched off the dolby then I could hear movie. In this case that does not work for the first generation (white) apple TV I have whether dolby is on or off. I have never been able to watch a movie using it.

  • How do you fix Clipped Signals in Soundtrack Pro in the Waveform Window

    In "Analysis", under "Analysis Type", I checked (only) the Clipped Signal box and clicked on the "Analyze" button. STP found numerous clipped signals. However, selecting either one or all on the list, the "Fix" and "Fix All" buttons remain grayed out. How do I fix these?
    macbook Pro 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Soundtrack Pro 1.1

    Far as I know, this feature just finds the clipped
    clips . . . it doesn't fix them. You'd have to do
    that manually and there's no good way to do that . .
    . except to avoid them in the first place.

    Thank you. I suspected that was the case. Wonder if that will be improved upon in FCS2?

  • Final Cut Pro Studio (Sending Audio To Soundtrack Pro Error) No Video

    I get error promp when sending (un-linked, no stereo pair) audio clips to soundtrack pro multi-track project. The selection will only go into Soundtrack Pro if I un-check the video check box.
    I can, however, send an audio clip as a Soundtrack Pro audio file. The video works fine.

    Boy, there are a lot of things I'm just not getting today.
    Product endorsements are supposed to generate some cash or other consideration, no? When was the last time you saw painted on the side of a house "Hammers made by Craftsman" or "Nails from Home Depot?"
    And why do people wear clothes with logos all over them? Nobody's paying them for it!
    And how come realtors always plaster their faces everywhere?
    Oh well.

  • No Audio in Soundtrack Pro

    I use a Mac Pro. When I send a FCP sequence or a video clip with audio to a soundtrack pro multitrack project, I cannot hear the audio when I play the project in STP. When I scrub, I CAN hear the audio. Also, while I'm in the same "FCP to Soundtrack Pro" project I cannot hear the loops that I may want in my FCP project. The meters are active, indicating the audio is there. However, when I open a new Soundtrack Pro project, either multitrack or audio file, I can hear all sounds. On another Mac Pro I use, this does not occur. Am I missing something in preferences?
    Final Cut Studio 3 (FCP 3.0.1, Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1)
    Please help,
    wood24

    Whoa, let's back up. Your description is a bit confused. Are you just saying that the audio file project you had open is no longer playing back? From where are you playing the audiofile project? Where is the multitrack project? How did you create both the multitrack and audiofile projects?

  • How do I get audio from MacBook Pro to Samsung monitor?

    MacBook Pro - I've just bought an S27b550V Samsung monitor to connect to the MacBook Pro but even with hdmi adaptor and usb connection can only get video. I set sound control to recognise the usb output but still nothing but a faint muted sound from the monitor. How do I get audio to work?

    I don't think that a USB connection is going to do anything - as you've a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort that, I don't believe, will carry audio over HDMI, you'd need to use the 3.5-mm analog/optical combo jack optical jack to get video to your Samsung monitor.

  • How To: Make Beats in LOGIC/Soundtrack Pro - sample is LOOP Adrenaline Loop

    1) What is the best way to make a loops (similar) to the loop e.g. that comes with Logic, Soundtrack Pro that is in the category Rythmatic (Adrenaline Electronic Long (TITLE)), I have used ableton and SX, Nuendo, Acid....just trying to find the easiest way -not knowing the way to work quickly is a bit frustrating....
    2) What key command in logic when double clicked (or key command) will open the aiff file in Sound Track and after editing put back into Logic?
    3) Are there any good books on Logic 8 or on-line video training available yet?
    4) Due to me not having enough space on MBP, I did not install orchestral jam pack - is this why the templates for ORCHESTRAL DO NOT show up in templates? If so, how do I repair.
    5) I forget ? 5 LOL.

    Anyone?
    Thanks.

  • How do i xfer audio from macbook pro to ipad via usb

    I have some audio loaded onto my MacBook Pro and my wife would like them on her iPad. I have read the iPad user guide, but the menus it discusses do not appear on my iTunes. I have loaded the compatible version of iTunes to my MacBook.

    Nice try. Really. Thanks.
    I have version 11.0.1 (12)
    The only button in the upper right corner is the iTunes store button.
    I looked at the link you furnished, and saw the iPad button to which you refer.
    The copy of the 11.0.1  I have does not show the iPad button.
    I then selected show sidebar, no help either.
    It shows library, store, genius, and playlists.
    No iPad.
    The real issue is that I was able to transfer some songs to the iPad a week or so ago. I thought that I had merely forgotten how.
    When I first tried to transfer that time I received the message that I needed to download a more recent version of iTunes. I did that, and, voila, I was able to transfer the songs. I just don't remember how. Obviously something has changed since then and I can't imagine what it is.
    Thanks for the effort. Do you have any other suggestions? I am willing to listen.
