Is there a place to RENT Soundtrack Pro Tutorial DVDs?

Hey All-
Anyone know of any places that rent DVD tutorials for Soundtrack Pro? I've done the video online thing but most of those tutorials are spotty at best. It seems like a place like Netflix would rent the how-to dvds, but they dont...
Thanks-
Dave

Dave, you could buy this on Amazon, read and then sell it on Amazon with a discount: Apple Pro Training Series: Soundtrack Pro 2. Or you could buy a used book from them.

Final cut pro tutorial dvd - recommendations

Hi,
I am looking for some advice, i would like to get final cut pro tutorial on dvd, aimed at an absolute beginner , i would appreciate any recommendations.
thanks in adviance

My first course of action is to buy the longest (most hours) DVD tutorial sets I can. Then I generally go back and buy one or more additional sets. Why? B/c programs like FCP are so complex that there are many different ways to do the same thing. The more time I spend watching the tutorials, the less time I waste in the long run trying to figure out how to do such and such a thing.

Soundtrack Pro?

Recently there's been a lot of talking on the web about the future of Apple's (pro) video and audio applications.   Adobe has some aggressive deals for people switching to Premiere Pro or the Creative Suite (which as you know now includes Audition).   There's also great tutorials and technical documents for switching to Premiere Pro as well. However, the audio love gets drowned out by all the other stuff.
So I wanted to focus just on audio and talk about Soundtrack Pro.   If any of you are/were fans of Soundtrack Pro.   I invite you to download and try out the following files.   I noticed on Twitter that there was some speculation about "STP was rolled into FCPX" or "STP functionality will be rolled into Logic" and so forth.   Now you can roll STP into Audition which is here to stay. We're already actively working on the next version to address some of the most common requests. You can also get a feel for where our larger pro video and audio business is going, but note that we on the Audition team have some very audio-centric plans as well to more directly address your needs.
File
Info
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/4.0ApplicationSettings.xml
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/4.0/AppPrefs.xml
Color Scheme and some preferences here and there that are close to Soundtrack Pro's
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/4.0/Shortcuts/Soundtrack Pro 3.xml
Soundtrack Pro Keyboard Shortcuts added or changed from Soundtrack Pro 3 User Manual
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/4.0/Workspace/Saved Workspaces/UserWorkspace2.xml
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/4.0/Workspace/Archived Workspaces/UserWorkspace2.xml
Workspace layout that is somewhat similar to Soundtrack Pro's default layout.
Just copy the attached files to the location shown above.   Note that you may want to backup your previous preferences folder (~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/4.0) in case you'd like to switch back.   I just context-clicked on the folder in Finder and chose "Duplicate" to back up mine.

Okay, now for Part 2...
To use the impulse responses that are installed with Soundtrack Pro with the convolution reverbs in Audition...
Step
Details
Locate the impulse responses on your system drive (/Library/Audio/Impulse Responses/Apple/
Select the files you'd like to use and rename the .SDIR extension to .AIFF (they're really AIFF files with some extra proprietary metadata that the Apple apps use). A batch rename operation can easily be scripted.
Fire up your STP-skinned version of Audition (see above) and open a file.
Add the Convolution Reverb effect
Click on the [ Load... ] button to locate your renamed SDIR --> AIFF impulse file
And that's all it takes. You should be able to use their surround impulses with our Surround Reverb which acts in a similar way to the "Convolution Reverb" effect. However, I haven't looked at that in a while and can't remember if the channels get mapped correctly. You can even save Presets for your favorite custom impulses.

Soundtrack Pro Mask Filter?

Is there a filter available for Soundtrack Pro that will make a speech sound muffled, like it is delivered from behind a gas mask? Where can I get it? Thank you.

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!

New Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro Updates...

There's new updates for Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro on Software Update.
They seem to have fixed the problem I was having with one of my giant old projects. I used to have to open one of the audio projects before my multitrack project would open, but now it opens just fine. So far so good!

Hi Collings,
Looks like there are two threads about the recent FCP & STP updates, so I'm posting my findings here, too.
I just found another thing that appears to be fixed in STP 1.0.2:
Batch normalize is working:
I have a bunch of aif files that I want to normalize. I opened one in the waveform editor, applied process->normalize (level=0dB), then selected File->Save as Applescript--this creates an Applescript droplet. Then I can then grab a whole bunch of audio files and drop them all onto this droplet and they all get normalized correctly. This is a huge timesaver for me. Before this update, using this approach to batch-normalize a set of files seemed to deliver unpredictable results, but I just ran a whole set of files through, and they all played back with a peak level of 0dB (and no clipping).
Here are the other things that I've noticed so far with STP 1.0.2:
Automation:
-In STP 1.0.1, Automation was not applied correctly on project sample rates that were not supported by the hardware (e.g. play a 96K project on a laptop built-in 48K audio interface and the automation was late by 2X) -- this is fixed!!! YAY!
-STP 1.0.1 did not handle long automation ramps across long periods of silence (it would sometimes cause a glitch at the start of the clip right after the automation ramp--there is even a support article about this)--it seems like they fixed this one, too.
Sample rate switching:
-I see an option in general preferences to allow me to disable the "Switch hardware sample rate to match document", and with this disabled, I no longer get audible clicks from my audio interface when I switch tabs. Plus, switching tabs seems faster to me.
Realtime effects and automation in audio file projects:
-They've added a warning to inform folks about the need to bounce realtime effects and automation to an action--if you are in an audio file project with realtime effects that have not been bounced to an action and you try to save, you get a warning message.
Has anyone else noticed any other fixes or changes in this update?

DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro always ask for Serial

I use FCP X and sometimes Logic Pro X but the latter doesn't have nearly the capabilities for dialog editing that Soundtrack Pro did. Now that I'm on Yosemite (have no idea is that the problem) I can only open Soundtrack Pro or DVD Studio Pro by re-entering the serial number. I've seen this before with OS updates, but now it asks for me to re-enter serial every time I try to open them. Even if they were open a few minutes ago and I haven't restarted. Any ideas?

See this thread and see if it helps:

Is there somebody out there to shed some light on this? Change keys, tempo in Soundtrack Pro greyed out?

From the amount of posted unanswered questions like mine one should be able to see that there are more than a few people confused about the greyed out "Change keys, tempo in Soundtrack Pro" (and for that matter in Apple Loops Utility, Logic, GarageBand)! What does it take to help out the less adept budding beginners? Please don't post read the manual or search for... we all know you can spend days with no results. There is nothing better than a friendly person (wizard) who knows and has done it all, giving clear step by step instructions. Please lay it out for us lesser brains. Thank you so much for your time and patience.

in this line i think there is some error put it like this

Try to put some SOPs in between, so that u can check in logs(if using tomcat)where u r making mistake.

Is there a way to export an Avid OMF to Soundtrack Pro?

I have an OMF file from Avid that i have been asked to mix, and I would like to do it in Soundtrack Pro. Is there any way of exporting or converting the files so they can be edited in STP?
Many thanks
Matthew

you would mostly likely need to get something like ADproimport FCP http://www.automaticduck.com/products/pifcp/ to take the OMF into FCP then use FCP to send that to STP

Compressor and Soundtrack Pro not installing even if Final Cut isn't there

Hello,
I have a problem installing Compressor and Soundtrack Pro that I don't know how to solve.
The "read me" note of the software says, "Warning: Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5 contain updated components that are incompatible with Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier. If the Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system, it automatically deselects the checkboxes for Soundtrack Pro and Compressor in the Custom Install pane."
Problem is, I've never had Final Cut Studio installed and the installer still deselects Compressor and Soundtrack Pro, and I cannot find a way to install them.
I'm using a new MacBook Pro and everything is up to date on it. I haven't installed much of anything else on this machine either.
Can anyone help?

Will Soundtrack Pro allow me to master multi-track audio CD?

Please help! I have been looking for the past 4 days for a multi-track audio editing software that will allow me to burn multiple tracks to a CD. Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a 45 minute message and I want to fade a song in at the beginning, and another song fading out at the end. Then I want to place markers every 10 minutes, split into separate tracks, and burn the whole thing to CD from within that software (possibly I can fudge on this last one by exporting each individual track to iTunes, then making a playlist, but if Soundtrack Pro or some other program can do it all, then that is what I prefer!)
I tried Audacity, and it was close to what I wanted, but when I exported into iTunes the last 20 seconds of every song dropped audio! I have also tried the following and these are the errors/difficulties I encountered:
• Amadeus II : No multi-track mixing capability
• Cacophony: kept crashing, multiple error messages
• Jasmine: unique tape-style interface, but again, no multi-track export
• Sound Studio 3: good interface, easy marking, but no sound after export
• Snd Sampler: only one sound can be open at a time
• Deck LE: wouldn't even open one of my audio files!
So now my attention is on Soundtrack Pro and Logic Pro. Both of these seem like they will have what I need, but I'm going to have to fork over a pretty penny. Which is better and will either do multi-track mixing to CD?
Thank you so much to anyone who will read through my whole ordeal and help me out with their musical expertise and sound audio advice!
Sincerely,
Paul

Hello,
I thank you both for the help you've given, and I have obtained STP and really enjoy using it, but I am still disappointed that it will not allow me to master multiple tracks. For instance in Audacity, there is the export multiple command that splits one long song up according to the markers that you placed and then exports them as several different files. In STP, this same process is amazingly difficult, you have to take the razor tool, cut each section, drag it down to another track, then put a stop song marker after the cut section, then select each track and "export selected". (Do you know of an easier way?) Now for a $1200 dollar program that is just a little bit ridiculous, why cannot Apple just have a command to export by markers? Where can I go to request this feature be implemented?
Here's an example of what I am looking for, with features such as Redbook CD mastering (but this software is too buggy)

Can I save ALL effects on a Soundtrack Pro clip at once, for reuse w/ FCP?

i am using soundtrack pro with fcp for the first time. i have several different clips which need the same group of effects (the same sound-tweaking) placed on each separate clip so that that the overall sound of this one scene (composed of many clips) remains the same once its treated. how can i do this? is there a way to save ALL of the effects on a given soundtrack clip and then apply these instantly to the rest of the same scene's clips? in other words, can i avoid having to add many (6, for example) separate custom setting to each separate video clip within a particular scene?
thanks,
marc

jim,
i fiddled with the scripting function for a few hours, following the instructions within soundtrack's "help" files. i was able to save a script, but once i'm in fcp, i control click on a given file, click "send to...script" then highlight my saved script. always, a dialog box comes up asking if i really want to continue, as it will "destroy" the file. sure enough it does destroy the file, turning the audio into a bunch of very high pitch bleep sounds. so i'm confounded, and, frankly, stupified.
doug, i'm also stupified with lift and stamp. i can get the sound "palette" opened, but the "save as preset" button is grayed out, making the feature impossible to use.
perhaps i should place these new problems on a new post but i thought i'd reply here first for what it's worth. i thank you both for your inputs. in theory, either one of these options would be ideal, but i've spent about 3 hours and can't get either to work properly....

Audio sync problem: exporting from FCP to Pro tools or soundtrack pro

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Cut Pro sound export for mastering.....sync problem
Hey,
I'm editing a 30 minute film and I have done most of the sound edit in FCP and Soundtrack pro and I want to now bring all the sound into pro tools to master the sound but every time i export sound into pro tools it seems to stretch by two or three seconds.
I have tried OMF, AIFF, XML, and Quicktime audio file sut to no avail!!!!
There are 50 tracks in the file so it is quiet large. It's not that there are handles of the file also as when I sync the file with the audio track with the video it syncs in one place but it is still out of sync in another.........It's as if the audio has been stretched!?!
If anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated
Keith

Try mixing down the audio first. Sequence/Render Only/Audio mixdown.
You could even try exporting the audio with the Export QT movie command using "current settings" and reimport that file, Add that mixed down file to a copy of the sequence. If it syncs in FCP I'd think it will sync on export too.

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?

Is there a place to RENT Soundtrack Pro Tutorial DVDs?
