Problem sending to soundtrack pro

I am using FCP 5.1.4 and in my timeline I have a clip with bad audio that i want to clean up in soundtrack. I right-click the file and go to "send to.." "soundtrack pro audio file" is greyed out, but the multitrack option is not, so i tried the multitrack option. In soundtrack i cannot set noise print or anything in the multitrack file. If i disconnect the right and left channels I can send them one at a time to soundtrack and clean them up, but that is too time consuming after a while. How can I send a stereo file, clean up the noise, and have it appear in FCP? I know i have done it before, but for some reason it will not work now.
Thank you for your help.

Okay... so now it's not working again.
This was after getting the message:
Unable to render file
when I tried to normalize.
Then STP froze up on me and I had to force quit.
Resent from FCP, then tried to double click on a track to open it up, and STP crashed on me.
This is about the 5th crash I've had this evening in STP.
Not sure what the problem is... maybe I need to re-install the OS. But that's not going to happen tonight.
Would be nice to know if others are having this problem or if it is just me?

Operation Not Allowed When Sending to Soundtrack Pro

Hi
I have a problem with FCP. I have a clip named
main service.dv
When i try to Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio Project, in the Save dialog, i tick Send only referenced media, and latest metadata... but when i hit Save, an "Operation not allowed" dialog appears. The file is saved, and I can open it in Soundtrack Pro, but its not associated back with FCP.
Thanks.

The footage was already captured before coming to me. I have nearly completed my project, now just needed STP to get rid of an electrical buzz on a clip.
It's still a bad workflow by definition, "operation not allowed" means you canto proceed without some kind of workaround. You do not need STP to remove a simple 60Hz. But you will need advanced audio processing tools to augment the 60Hz removal if the rest fo the track has lots of content in that freq.

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

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.

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.

Missing audio when sending to Soundtrack Pro

I have a sequence that I'm sending to Soundtrack Pro. It sends and opens but I notice that there is audio missing from sections where I have .motn elements in my timeline. The audio is there in FCP...
Is there a solution to this?

Turns out the audio needed to be linked to the .motn sequence.

Sync problems when sending to soundtrack pro

I am currently having a problem with a mono track audio/video clip sliding out of sync when I send it to soundtrack pro as referenced file only with 10 sec handles. When I send the entire clip the sync problem doesn't occur.
I have used soundtrack pro before and never encountered this problem.
I'm on FCP 6.0.3.
Thanks.

Turns out the audio needed to be linked to the .motn sequence.

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,
Dave

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.

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.

Unable to send to Soundtrack Pro

I am attempting to export an audio clip to Soundtrack Pro using FCP 6.0.3. I control click the clip in the Browser and scroll down to, "Send to", but the option which I need (Soundtrack Pro Multitrack project) is grayed out and I am unable to send the clip. I am sure that I am missing a setting somewhere but I am unable to figure out which one. Thanks.

I have tried taking it from the timeline with the same result. This was a Volume installation so the original install disc is somewhere else.

What happened to "send to soundtrack pro"?

what's the quickest way to round trip to soundtrack pro now? or to adobe soundbooth? (i'd rather use soundbooth than soundtrack pro if possible)

Not a roundtrip option, but Automatic Duck's Pro Export FCP will let you export OMF or AAF.

Send to SoundTrack Pro Script/Normalize

OK, this might be a dumb question. I have a weekly 60min file that I want to normalize to 0db for viewing on the web.
Some of my audio sources can be very loud, and some of them are very soft.
Can I make a script that will automatically increase/decrease the volume level to match the 0db level I want?
I've tried to make normalize 0db, but that doesn't work either. Is there a special kind of limiter/compressor?
thanks ahead of time, looking forward to your responses

hi zeke, the problem you have is because of +wildly varying levels+.
There is a classic process in audio called compression which will reduce the level of sound over a certain threshold and therefore reduce the dynamic range (difference between loud and soft). It is often described as increasing loudness, or raising the lower level sounds, which is a misunderstanding of the process. Unfortunately if overused it can have destructive effects on the sound. So if you used that process to try to even out your tracks you would raise the lower level sounds but squash the louder parts into distortion. So that isn't an effective solution for you.
Normalizing also will not work because it can only increase the overall level so that the loudest part is at 0. This probably has very little effect for you since the loud parts are already near 0.
You have a couple of options.
1. Automate the levels. Increase the soft parts and/or decrease the loud parts so that they are closer to each other. You can use the Volume Envelopes to do that.
2. Separate the loud parts from the soft parts and then normalize (perhaps not all the way to 0) the soft parts so that they are equal to the loud parts.

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?

Soundtrack Pro 2.0 "an unexpected problem"

I got this error tonight:
NSInternalInconsistencyException
Invalid parameter not satisfying:
m_dragAndDropAutoscrolTimer == nil
How to duplicate:
Using FCS 2 --
1. From FCS 2 do a Send To Soundtrack Pro MultiTrack
2. Add a Track
3. Located sound file I wanted .aiff via Search tab
4. drag file to File Editor tab on new empty track
5. drag file from File Editor to empty track
The downside, I can't always duplicate this, especially if a create an new blank STP project.
Anyone else run into this problem with the new Soundtrack Pro 2.0??
Rob.

I had the same problem - same error. The file I was trying to add to my track was a soundtrack supplied special FX noise. Tried many different clips, same problem. Also, the main project window seems to want to auto scroll - but only in one direction.
