Installing Soundtrack Pro audio content

Hi. I am about to install the version of Soundtrack Pro that comes w/ Final Cut Studio 2 and would like to install the audio content that comes on the three DVDs onto a secondary internal drive, the same drive where I store my video media files. Now, I also have audio content from Soundtrack v1.5 (that came w/ FCE 3.5) installed on my boot drive. Are all these files duplicated within the new audio content that comes w/ Soundtrack Pro that I am about to install? If not, will I be able to access both libraries of audio content once I have Soundtrack Pro installed, even though the two libraries will reside on different drives? And when I install the new audio content onto the secondary drive, where is the best location to keep the files? On what level of the drive and what should I name the folder? Thanks for your consideration.

Most of the content should be about the same. The big came change between versions two and three. And that change was in the use of Apple CAF files. That stands for compressed audio file, from what I understand.
If you search this forum you'll find that this topic came up several times. This extensive documentation on how to force soundtrack Pro to access sound effects libraries on external drives, or on different directories on your primary hard drive. easy way to deal with it right now is to simply move your existing libraries onto a directory on an external drive. Installed the new files. Then move them where you'd like them. Then tell soundtrack Pro would access everything. If it were me, I would just install the new files and not worry about the old ones. Duplicates will be overwritten and non-duplicates will be preserved. You can then move whatever files you want anywhere you want and then tell soundtrack Pro were to find them.

  • No Video when using the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" Command

    Hello FCP Users,
    After reading and rereading the FCP and STP manuals and scouring the boards; I still can not figure out how to view my video clip while I'm editing/sweetening audio in STP. I have even used the DVD tutorial in an attempt to figure it out (all works fine and good with the tutorial example), but I'm stuck here the real world.
    I'm thinking their must be some preference setting somewhere in STP that I've missed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Best regards,
    Jeff
    From the Manual:
    Soundtrack Pro creates a new audio file project (with the file type .stap) for the clip. The clip can contain video and audio or contain only audio.
    In the Final Cut Pro Timeline, Control-click the clip, then choose “Send To >
    Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project” from the shortcut menu."

    Rob,
    The audio consists of two separate audio tracks A1 is from a lav mic and A2 is from an on-camera mic.
    It was captured DV.
    If I rt click the video clip in the "video tl" the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" in the dialog box is grayed out/not available for selection, but the Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program is available to select.
    If I choose to Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program I get the following an error message: Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro.
    I've tried de-selecting the "linked selection" in the tl and rt click the audio clip in the "audio tl" and that allows me to "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" , but no video in the utility window of STP.
    If I select the "linked selection" in the tl and rt click the audio clip in the "audio tl" the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" in the dialog box is grayed out/not available for selection, but the Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program is available to select.
    If I choose to Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program I get the following an error message: Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro.
    It looked all so simple in the tutorial. I'm going on five hours of trying to find an answer to this issue any other suggestions before I slit my wrists? Thanks for your input.

  • Installing Soundtrack Pro (v 1.0) on MacBook Pro

    Hello all,
    I'd like to use Installing Soundtrack Pro (v 1.0) on my MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8.
    I've used the install disc to install it and got a "Successfully installed" message, and I've used Software Update to find and install updates. But Soundtrack Pro will not open.
    By the way, I am the registered owner of this software. It was included with my Final Cut Studio upgrade.
    Can anyone tell me, please, should this version of Soundtrack Pro run on this MacBook Pro with this OS? Does Quicktime Pro have to be present prior to opening? Or is this software just not going to run on an Intel Mac?
    Thank you for your help.
    Best,

    If you applied all recommended patches from redhat you probably use glibc 2.2-9.
    However jre 1.1.8 doesn't work with this version of glibc. Downgrade to glibc 2.1.92-something (the original version supplied with RH7.0) and OUI will work.

  • Install Soundtrack Pro without Compressor 2

    I've run in to major problems with Compressor 2. I am running Production Studio (FCP4.5, DVDSP3, etc). I purchased the Soundtrack Pro Upgrade and it also added Compressor 2. I have experienced many problems with compressor 2 (I've seen them listed here) and needed to totally rebuild to get back to a working system with Compressor 1. I tried many of the suggestions with little luck. I have not yet installed Soundtrack Pro, as I cannot afford to bring my system to a halt again with Compressor 2. Is there any way to install Soundtrack Pro without Compressor 2? I've been through the install and the documentation, but did not see the option. Anyone know any way to do this?

    If you get Charles Srstka's Pacifist, you will be able to install whatever you need to wherever you want... Beware: this is not for the faint of heart - you must know what you're doing!

  • Cannot use the Send to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Command

    I cannot use the Send to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Command, only the Multitrack and it's starting to really get on my nerves. It is unhiglighted. If I unlink the clip and select only half of the audio, the option re-appears. I have no idea what is wrong.

    As an audio file, you can only send one clip at a time. This is a feature, not a bug. See the book for more information.

  • Unable to "Send to: Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project"

    With a solo clip in its own sequence, I wanted to do some audio work in Soundtrack Pro. I control-clicked on the clip and selected "Send to." The option for Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project is grayed out, not allowing me to select it.
    Any suggestions?

    I figured out you can only do "one track" at a time and not multiple tracks. Once I Option clicked on the single track, it came back. Just FYI.

  • Install Soundtrack Pro if already have Final Cut Pro Studio installed?

    Should I install Soundtrack Pro if I already have Final Cut Studio installed?

    EddyBoy_UK - I've got the most recent FCP Studio 2, with all the updates, yet the option was set to install Soundtrack pro.
    I guess I'll get on hold with Apple tech support. Like to ask them if they have a tech note on exactly which files get removed during an install with Logic 7 & Jam Packs already installed.

  • Cant install SOUNDTRACK PRO 3 on logic 9

    hi i installed logic 9 a few weeks ago and ive just realised it didn't install SOUNDTRACK PRO 3 when i put the logic studio install dvd in it will only let me skip it and (compressor) any help would be appreciated
    many thanks
    ricky jones

    I did find an earlier post on this…
    [  I spoke with Apple Support. The problem appears to be that Compressor is required to install Soundtrack Pro and Compressor was not installing on my computer. We removed all of the "receipts" in the library and copied them to a backup folder on the desktop. Then, we inserted the Logic Studio install disk and now it allowed me to install both Compressor and SoundTrack Pro (previously the Compressor box was grayed out). Then, I updated the software using Software Update, copied the receipts back into the folder (importantly - you do not replace any duplicate receipts when you copy the files back) and restarted the computer. Now I can launch both Soundtrack Pro and Compressor.
    Your mileage may vary and you may wish to have Apple help you along the way but I wanted to let everyone know the outcome.
    Thanks.

  • Soundtrack pro audio files with software

    Im missing sound audio files. When I follow along with the lessons in Lynda.com the teacher shows something like 5011 files for audio and I have 2500. I did it step by step as he show to reset everything and still it finds only 2500 of the audio files. Im missing the audio files that the lesson is loading up for the lesson. Anyone know why I am missing the files? Where can I get the rest of them? Im missing all the audio files that start with the lettter A under instruments and bass loop. I have 78 and the lesson shows 306 I think. Thanks in advance.

    Make sure you are indexing all of your Apple Loops folders. Do a spotlight search on Apple loops, and sort by type, to see the folders.
    My main Apple Loops folder is in Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro, but I also have others for GB (some dupes) and others I have purchased in other folders.
    Click Setup... to see your directories, then the + to add a directory, or select a directory and click Index now to re-index it.
    If all of that fails, I think all of the loop content is on the install disks, but I don't know a way to get it without completely reinstalling.
    OH, BTW, you're using the same version of STP as the Lynda.com tutorial, yes?

  • From FCP timeline...send to soundtrack pro audio file project is greyed out

    The send to multi track is not greyed out but that's not what I need.
    The stereo audio file is 48KHz and I have 7 tracks of audio in the sequence all of which are stereo except the VO track.
    If I use "open in editor" to open a stereo file from the timeline soundtrack only imports one channel.
    I'm trying to run these stero audio clips through STP using the waveform editor to quickly analyze and fix the "clicks and pops" also adding a low cut off filter to some of the clips to help eliminate some wind noise.
    Seems the only way I can get it to work is to export each clip as an aiff file and then import it to STP, edit non destructively, save as a .stap file and then reimport that .stap file back into FCP........
    Any ideas why the "send to STP audio file project" is greyed out? perhaps I have forgotten a preference setting somewhere?
    All help appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hey, Dave. That can happen if you captured your files with two audio tracks instead of a single stereo track. The two channels will show up on two tracks, but they're not actually stereo in the quicktime file.
    When you captured, did you click the "OO" button next to the audio channels to link them to stereo? You can look at the contents of the quicktime file with Quicktime Player and see if you've got one audio track with two channels assigned to "left" and "right". If you have some other configuration in the file, check out these old threads for workarounds, or recapture if that's an option.

  • Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro Audio Drift

    I have Final Cut Pro 7 and Soundtrack Pro 3 (the latest ones) and I can't figure out why when I send my audio to Soundtrack Pro the edits are off. I'm using multitrack multitrack project and exporting from Final Cut, but my in point on my audio clips changes to a little earlier and ends a little earlier. It's like it's drifting. I'm using aif files. Everything seems normal. I thought this version of Final Cut Studio would enable me to easily do this.
    Any ideas?
    BTW I am running Snow Leopard, but that should be a good thing right?

    You are pushing the envelope working in fcp6 in Mavericks.  Did you do a clean install of Mavericks and FCP?  That's usually the way to get a stable system.  Here's a user tip on Installing OS and FCP
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
    As a workaround, can you just save an aiff in soundtrack pro and bring that in to fcp?

  • Why my Logic Studio 9 (upgrade) does not install Soundtrack Pro, sound effects etc..?

    I just bought Logic Studio 9 (latest I suppose) upgrade version. Now I figured out that it does not allow me to install for example Soundtrack Pro, Sound Effects etc... How can I install them?
    Logic Studio 8 was not installed prior to install because OS X Lion does not allow me to install logic studio 8.
    What should I do now? Complete uninstall OS X and only update to OS X Leopard?

    Hi
    You have either moved the Applications or re-named them. For the updaters to work the Apps must be named "Logic Pro" and "MainStage.

  • Can I export my Soundtrack Pro audio files, including the video?

    I'm new to soundtrack pro 2, could I export my audio files including the video?
    I tried, but all i get was audio...
    thanks!

    Export -> Master Mix - choose the File Type -> *Using Compressor*, this will give you options for re-encoding or preserving the video file.

  • Soundtrack Pro audio

    I just purchased soundtrack pro, i have final cut pro 5 and when i clicked "send to soundtrack pro multitrack mix" it goes into soundtrack with the selected video and music however the dialogue that was recorded from the camera is not at all what was on final cut. Why is this? and how can i fix it?
    Thanks!

    I spoke to someone at the Apple Store he said I could export the movie via Quicktime and then import it into Soundtrack, but then i was thinking, I would loose the different audio tracks which would be the point of editing it. It works for my clips usually, however this one paticular movie is not working. It imports the video and .aiff files fine, however the dialogue that is linked with the audio that comes in is an audio that is not even in the timeline.

  • Error while installing Logic Pro Additional Content HELP!!!!!!!!

    Hello, I've recently purchased Logic Pro 9.1.8 from the Appstore on my new MacBook Pro (Mid 2012).
    The App installed fine and so did the 2 GB obligatory download on the first launch. But then I downloaded the Logic Pro and Mainstage additional content (4.6
    Gb) and then when it started installing, the install window in Logic simply disappeared, I thought it had finished installing, so I checked the Additional content
    download menu and it was still unchecked (and without the "Installed" sign on the right). Having copied the package on my external hard drive for backup, I
    recopied it on my mac and tried to install, but the installer then displayed the following message: An error occurred while extracting files from the package.
    The Log file also included: "The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format."
    There isn't an Apple Store in my country.
    I'm running on Lion 10.7.5, with 420Gb of free space, please HELP!!!!!!!!

    Solved this by downloading the file again.
