Record Logic + all input live in SoundTrack pro

Hi All,
I would like to record (into soundtrack pro) live sessions using logic and some inputs from the sound card.
So of course the best way to do this would be to record all into logic and bounce the file but my live sessions are based on a cycle of various tracks set with certain sounds and/or drum paterns which I use to play live with.
On top of that I have various inputs for other instruments and mics for vocals which are played from in Logic tracks, ending up with everything coming out of my logic output.
To record these live sessions I have opened up SoundTrack pro and tried to record from various output but all I can get is the inputs (mics etc) without the Logic tracks.
I have also tried Soundflower but it gave me a piercing noise when I enabled the inputs in Logic...
Would anyone have any other idea to share please?
Thx

sounds like a feedback loop.
Anyway, you can try Wiretap Pro, Wiretap Studio, and a few others, the names of which I don't recall at the moment (still on first cup of coffee). You can route and isolate the audio i/o around the machine.

  • 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....

  • Should I get Logic Express if I have Soundtrack Pro?

    Hi,
    I am new to Soundtrack Pro and was wondering if I should get Logic Express. I am looking for even more music and sound effects for video productions.
    Does Logic Express offer more music and sound effects then Soundtrack Pro?
    What is the major differences between Logic Express and Soundtrack Pro?
    Thanks.
    Andy

    I think LE8 might be very useful tool indeed, if you are looking for more sound effects and creating your own music.
    Both applications allow audio mixing, but with LE you can also use Software Instruments to create unique sounds or to compose entire songs. Plus, LE is more convenient for audio production, just like SP is more convenient for creating and editing soundtracks for movies/video.
    Not sure about the effects plugins, but LE might have a wider collection of them.
    I think it definitely won't be a waste of money to purchase LE, because it will extend your sound production capabilities.

  • Logic won't convert my Soundtrack Pro edits

    Logic (9.1.3) won't update edits made to my audio regions in Soundtrack Pro (Version 3.0.1)
    The audio material is my own (i.e. not Apple Loops etc.) I've never done this before but its supposed to work. 1) Select region in Logic>Options>Audio>Open in STP. 2) Make edit in STP then File>Save File. 3) Click to reactivate Logic Arrange window (I've tried both quitting STP and leaving it open before this step) - Progress bar shows Logic creating wave graphic but it is only refreshing the original wave and not loading the edited wave. Renaming during step 2 is of no help either. Any clues as to the problem or what would be the easiest work around? THANKS

    Hi
    With Logic 9 and STP3 there should be no need to Flatten before switching back to Logic. It is only necessary to Save in STP.
    I have encountered a couple of other problems occasionally:
    A) In STP, make sure that the file is actually being saved as a '.stap' file and not an aiff/wav. It might be necessary to do a "save As" and then re-send over from Logic??
    B) When switching back to Logic from STP, I have occasionally run into problems with the method used to switch programs. Instead of simply 'clicking in a Logic window', try using CMD TAB to switch the active program. Alternatively, in STP simply Save then Quit.

  • Getting Soundtrack Pro to record with M-Audio Firewire Solo?

    I'm having trouble trying to record 'live' into Soundtrack Pro. I've got a mic into analog mixer into M-Audio Firewire Solo audio interface into ibook set up.
    In STP, I can select firewire channels 1 to 2 (under "Recording" tab) for the input device but nothing is recording when I hit the record button. the mic>mixer bit is working fine. I'm quite certain the mixer>audio bit is working so I think its a problem with compatibility between the M-Audio Firewire Solo device and Soundtrack Pro software....although it shows up as an option in the select audio input/output settings in STP... I've also got the latest Tiger driver for the Firewire Solo device and the latest update for STP.
    I CAN record from the in-built mic on the ibook so that bit works...
    Currently, I've been recording individual tracks into Audacity then exporting them all as separate tracks into Soundtrack Pro for post production as AIFF files (drag and drop them into STP in the order I require). I'm doing this as a temporary measure until I can find out how to get M-Audio Firewire Solo talking to Soundtrack Pro.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Well, I got it working with Soundtrack Pro and Audio Hijack Pro in the end. It seems that only the front side of M-Audio FireWire Solo recording interface actually seems to work and only the right channel (mono). Its a little bit annoying but it works...not sure why the back ones did not work (s/pdif, balanced and unbalanced phone jacks plugs), perhaps its something to do with the fact that the front has gain level knobs and the back doesn't....hmm...maybe not enough power to drive the back connectors?
    Anyway, if any of you happen to use M-Audio FireWire audio interfaces (analog to digital converter) and you face a similar problem, then its probably going to be a similar thing...

  • Logic Pro or Soundtrack Pro for Post Production (In a Pro Tools world)?

    Hey guys,
    How many of you out there, is using Logic for Post Production (or Soundtrack Pro)? I know a couple of people myself, out there using Logic Pro for Post and absolutely love it. Wanted to see if there are more of you out there and what your experiences have been with Logic Pro in the area of TV, motion picture and video sound. How is it, working in a majority Pro Tools realm? Are you finding it harder to interface with other studios, running Pro Tools?
    Message was edited by: Syrcle

    I find that Logic is not a substitute for Pro Tools as a post editor DAW. Having been a Logic user since 96' and a ProTools user since 92' , I cannot imagine trying to post something other than music using Logic. Of course, it could be done but, it is a matter of interchange ability and the simple editing found in Pro Tools that is easy for Post applications. Conversely, I would not be tempted to make music in a Pro Tools session,unless it was an all audio scenario without virtual midi plugins.
    I love Logic for music and ProTools for post and this comes after years of messing with both in everyday real commercial environments . If you have success using Logic as a good Post audio editorial
    device,then enlighten me! But,right now, I wouldn't want to make music without Logic and I would never try to mix a movie on anything else but ProTools because these are the devices I use everyday.

  • Soundtrack Pro 2.02 will not open

    I purchased Logic Studio as soon as it was available. When the update came out I loaded it just fine. Logic Studio works perfectly. Soundtrack Pro will not open at all. I clicked on the alias in the dock, the icon bounced one, and then just sat there. Removed the alias from the dock and tried to open from the apps folder. Same thing. Any ideas what the problem might be?

    Not sure what the problem was but I reinstalled Soundtrack Pro and all is working now. If anyone else is having similar problems, try a clean reinstall.

  • Soundtrack Pro Work Flow

    Can anybody share their work flow. I'm doing titles in LiveType, editing in FCP, scoring in Logic and final mix in Soundtrack Pro. I am having a difficult time finding a natural flow. Any advice would be appreciated. If there is already a thread on this, please guide me in the right direction. Thx.

    That's what I was thinking. How can I get the video to play on my external monitor via Logic?
    Logic uses quicktime to play the video so whatever quicktime can do, logic can do. If the movie is DV format for eg you can play it out via firewire. There's a setting in logic to to "play via firewire" (or something). I think its in the song settings under the video section. I haven't got Logic handy to check. If you do a quick search in the manual or help guide it'll be in there.
    If you have decent video I/O interface you can be watching full HD 1080p uncompressed movies on a plasma screen with logic if you want. Obviously that will put a huge strain on your computer though and not really advisable! As a rough 'n' ready solution I once used a cheap camcorder connected to a tv (analogue) with a firewire cable connected to my computer. Logic played my dv movie to the tv ok but I noted the picture was delayed a few frames. Its worth checking the sync and for this reason its always useful to have "burned in timecode" on the picture. You can adjust picture sync in Logic via a slider (song settings again I think). Its worth double checking everything is as it should be before you start work proper. Once its all set up right I find things work very well.
    You should not have any issues with sync when the movie is on your computer monitor and that is a significant advantage. I've seen folk use a second computer monitor for their movie for this reason.

  • Need Soundtrack Pro or equivalent as standalone app. (not bundled with FCS)

    I do in-house editing of seminar videos for a small organization. The bottleneck is cleaning up the audio tracks of oral clicks and other vocal noises we don't want in the video. It would greatly speed up the process if we could have 2 people working simultaneously on the audio tracks.
    I'd be happy to purchase another copy of Soundtrack Pro to do this. But I can't justify $1299 to get it as part of the Final Cut Studio bundle because I don't need a 2nd copy of all the other applications. I have not found any other audio editing application that has the features I use all the time in Soundtrack Pro: Set Ambient Noise Print/Replace with Ambient Noise.
    Does anyone know of another application that does this? I also need the app. to include an equivalent to the pencil tool to clean up clicks. (hopefully for less than $300).

    What keeps you from crossgrading if you've got other FCS apps?
    Here's another option. Get Apple Motion used. Then crossgrade to FCS for 200[total it's a freakin deal]! Where there's a will there's always a way...Hey.

  • IMovie ansd Soundtrack Pro

    I'm just starting to play with iMovie and I have Logic Studio which comes with Soundtrack Pro.
    Is there any way to export an iMovie into Soundtrack Pro for audio editing?
    Thank

    Try exporting a Quicktime movie from iMovie, then drag the quicktime movie onto the video track (or drop it into the video window) in Soundtrack Pro.

  • Soundtrack Pro Verses Wavelab ...?

    Hi again
    I'm wondering if how Soundtrack pro shapes up as a stereo editor? As I'm now Mac based I miss my old Wavelab badly and can't seem to fall in love with Peak. Also it's very expensivo!
    I'm wondering if Soundtrack Pro is a comparable program and if it could become my first call stereo editor? Or maybe it is a much simpler program. I've never seen it in the flesh so would appreciate others real life experiences.

    Wavelab and soundforge are both great but because I'm on a mac I am looking for something Mac based.
    I have Audacity and have been using Peak but I wonder if I buy Logic Studio, will I find Soundtrack Pro to be a useable stereo edito or will I find it too simple and not powerful enough?
    I also do forensic restoration and basically buying peak will cost a lot more and I wont get Logic in the deal.
    I proberbly should have asked for a comparison between Soundtrack pro and Peak.
    cheers

  • HT3659 My Soundtrack pro looses the mic on AJAKona.  It will appear as an input only after clicking on New audio file, then ok, Recording alert appears and then I have my AJA KONA3g back as an input option. loose it again if I change track

    My Soundtrack pro looses the mic on AJAKona.  It will appear as an input only by clicking on New audio file, then ok,  and an Recording alert comes up.  But if I change track I loose the AJA again. How do I fix this?

    Finally found the answer. The recording was done at 48, the audio/MIDI settings were set to 48, but the sampling setting on the export was not, causing everything else to break down. Once all three matched the export worked and the playback audio worked without opening the clip editing screen.

  • I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, the cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler.  I get the message "nothing to display"

    I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler.  I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected"  After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug.  Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work.  We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler.  Thanks in advance for your ideas!  Cheers.

    Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track.  I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project.  Thanks again.

  • Logic or Soundtrack Pro?

    Happy new year all.
    I was involved in making a film a while back and we were never too happy about about the overall sound mix of the soundtrack. I am in possession of 4 stereo audio stems: main dialogue, secondary dialogue, FX and music. The main fault is that the music has been mixed too quietly. I am hoping that these stems will provide what I need to fix things. There is a fair amount of fader riding/automation on the music so it might not be the easiest of jobs but I believe its do-able.
    I was originally going to do the job with Logic but I'm wondering if Soundtrack Pro would be better, considering it is supposed to be designed for this sort of work. I am nowhere near as familiar with it as I am Logic but I'm happy to use the job as a learning excercise - but I don't want to get so far and discover limitations etc.
    Can anyone provide me with a good argument that soundtrack pro is the better tool for the job.

    I too am struggling in planning finishing a production that I am working on. I originally posted in a thread which may broaden this discussion a bit.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6016983#6016983
    I am the producer/editor and composer, I hire out camera work and direct the shoots and do preproduction planning. I also conduct interviews, work with my client who is the writer and lead investigator in an underwater archaeology project. We do field work including underwater video, surface operations video and interviews based on the objectives of the script outline.
    The final project is a 25 minute NOVA (on a bare bones budget) style documentary that will be used for reports to government agencies, Congress members, and also be a demo to raise funds for a higher budget production. It will also be shown in a museum theatre setting and possibly be broadcast on a local PBS affiliate. The better the production is the more funding I attract to make it even better.
    (One year later when my funding came through) I did a rough edit and we writes the rough narration. Client with laptop and microphone in my studio. In this way we build the production prior to filming the professional host (in maybe two weeks). At this point I am at rough cut two and have started animation (there is a history piece that sets the stage for the field work video) and all the other editing tasks that can be attacked before the narration is recorded and picture locked.
    Once picture is locked and narration recorded I will export a rough mix to Logic to build the music tracks with live musicians (no loops need apply as they take away from the satisfaction for me).
    So, like you Thomas, I need to decide whether to get proficient in a new application or since I am in Logic anyhow and control the visual edits myself in FCP, should I just stay in LP8 where I am comfortable and possibly use Soundtrack as a helper application for specialized tasks? I am curious about exporting XML files and bringing all of my audio stems into Logic.
    I am leaning toward Logic since I am at home in it. My last production was a series of 18 discrete interviews that I then scored in Logic 7 and just sent a stereo track to FCP and did the mix with keyframes. While I am mostly happy with the music, I was not happy with the inconsistent final results and hope to get funding to take the project to a mastering studio.
    That's my story. I am curious about what conclusions you reach. I do get how great the conforming feature is in certain work flows but not sure it means much for my current project.
    Any more input on the subject?
    Eric
