Seeing duplicate files in Soundtrack Pro

In the search tab I see to be getting 2 of each sound file appear. Is there away to make it so I only get one? Eg. I get the file 'Whoosh Down.caf' appear twice.

Click the Setup tab, you probably have them added twice in the setup window. Delete any duplicate folders and you might need to re-index.

Exchange audio files in Soundtrack Pro

Im experimenting with mastering audio files in Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1.
I am wondering if I can swap audio files in and out of the same project file - so I can keep the same STP effects settings while changing the audio file version from v1 to v2. Does this make sense?
As a side question... would it be better to convert the output from 24 to 16 bit (and dither it) in Soundtrack, or let that happen when it imports into iTunes?
Thanks for helping a complete stranger. That always amazes and inspires me.

Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro. So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment.
It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav?
I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.
Thank you for folowing up on this.
PS. I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect. It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore? You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?
Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right?

I'm trying to install adobe acrobat XI pro, the trial version. The Install Download Assist pops up but the program doesn't install. I do see a file named XI Pro, but not a program. It seems the program never completely downloads. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've tried to download the trial version of Acrobat XI pro but it's not working. The time bar is active for the download and indicates that it will take two hours. When I come back, the screen has gone back to the "install free trial here" page. I do see a file for XI Pro, but not a program.

Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

Hey,
Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes. Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor. I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks

Files from soundtrack pro play really slow in FCP

I tired searching the threads and couldnt find an answer
I'm trying to lay down a music bed in FCP before i edit a sequence.
I went into SOundtrack pro and listened to it.. looping music bed 40.aiff
sounds awesome.
go over to fcp.. click on import and i find the file amongst my libary and stuff
then i laid it into my sequence and the playback is really slow.
i can;t figure it out.
any help guys?

Sorry it took so long for you to find an answer, happens sometimes. Your bump can bring the wrath of the forum curmudgeons down upon your weenie little head but you got a good response to a post that got lost off the bottom of the page.
You're going to find digital video is full of weird little gotchas like this audio sampling rate thingy. Frame rates. And pixel aspect ratios. And color spaces. &c. I remember when video was just luminance.

M2v video files in Soundtrack Pro

Good day everybody. I encountered the following problem: Soundtrack Pro works very slow and unstable if I use m2v video.
Any comments?
Thank you.

I know But it takes a superfluous time to transcode .m2V files to QT. But it seems I have to do this next time. Any comments more, maybe?

Soundtrack Pro crashed. Now can't open or create new audio files.

I was editing an audio file in Soundtrack Pro v1.1. I also had Flash, Parallels and a few other applications open. I plugged in my USB headset. Parallels crashed. Then Soundtrack Pro hung up. Then I had a complete system crash and needed to restart. After restarting I can no longer open Soundtrack Pro files or create new files. All other applications including Final Cut Pro seem to be working fine. I tried reinstalling Soundtrack Pro, but that didn't help. I don't get passed the Soundtrack Pro spash page. I can select menu items such as preferences, help, and even new. However, when I select create new file nothing happens. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I deleted the preferences file (soundtrack.plist), then restarted the application. That didn't work.

Deleting Soundtrack Pro temporary files

I am building up quite a collection of temporary files in Soundtrack Pro. Can I safely delete temporary files after the main files have been saved and worked with in Final Cut Pro, or will FCP and STP be searching forever for these files if they are deleted.
Thanks.
Barb

Dear All,
I will give it a try. Some of the projects are archived for future use and I will open them at a later date. I don't want to destroy any temporary files that I may need later. I assume that a temporary file is just that...temporary until the main file is saved and then everything is stored in the main file that has been saved. I am not sure about this, however, as DVD Studio Pro searched forever for a deleted file even when the main file was gone...I had to trash the preferences to make it stop searching. So, I will give it a try first by moving the files and then delete them. Thanks.
Barb.

FCP and soundtrack pro roundtrip problem?

Hello I am working on a video in the latest Final Cut Pro and software. I need to take out the hum of the audio, but when I send the audio file to Soundtrack Pro and take out the hum and then save it, the audio goes offline when I go back to FCP and it says something like the attributes no longer match or something. What am I doing wrong? Is there specific ways I need to do this? When you send to soundtrack pro it asks if you want to send only referenced media. I tried both way but no go.
Any ideas?
thanks!

Interesting question - We don't use attorneys - too expensive, and we never listen to 'em anyway, so the info didn't come from a lawyer, ha ha. But I've seen several examples of music cue sheets, and they all contain the same information, including composer, publisher, society, timing, etc. (After all, that's the purpose of the cue sheet - to see that the artists and producers get paid for their work). You can find one format at:
www.ascap.com/musicbiz/cuesheetcorner/pdf/SampleCue
Of course, if the example comes from ASCAP (as that one does) or another society (BMI, others), they are working to make their job easier, but they are the societies - they are the ones who can object if they don't like it. And they have substantial power to penalize a producer for not doing what they want. But here's the thing: there's huge tradition in Hollywood, and the rule is (and the contracts say) that if you don't provide everything on the distributor's list of deliverables, they hold your money until you do - and one of the things on the list of deliverables is a music cue sheet, and every example I've ever seen (and I've seen at least 20) asks for the same information. So that's the answer as to "who told you that?" Is is possible that I'm being led down the garden path by ASCAP and the movie industry in general? Sure, but every source I consult agrees that this is the reality. I wish I could avoid it, but as I understand the situation, I have to do it, and it has to contain the info, or we'll never see our dough, ha ha. But my question remains the same - how do I get that info for the "royalty-free" music library attached to FCP?

Using Logic and Soundtrack pro

Hello everyone,
I am trying to open a sound file from the arange window in soundtrack pro, the file opens great in soundtrack pro, I was only wondering something when i apply changes to the file in soundtrack pro and go back to logic arrange the file is still the same and cannot preview the new file done in soundtarck pro. Do i need to save the file first and then reopen it in logic from the bin? Or is there something I am missing when I edit an aiff in sound track pro.
Thank you again for input.

Hi,
to answer the original poster's question:
when you are done applying changes effects etc. in Soundtrack, you need to "flatten" the file - it's down there next to where you see the list of all "actions", it says flatten all actions (or something like that), then hit save in STP.
Now when you go back to Logic, the file should update accordingly.
Hope that helps.
I understand this is how it is meant to be, but it has not worked for me for a couple of versions. I am having the same issue with Apple Loop Utility not updating the file in Logic.

Strange duplicate files

I am seeing duplicate files in my library. I used Tune-Up and the software did not see them as duplicates.
I looked at the file location of the dup files and the location is the same.
If I delete any of the duplicate files, both file duplicates get deleted to the recycle bin. In the recycle bin, I see one file.
If I do restore to the file, life comes back to normal and only one file shows up in Library.
Is there a fix ? I have 100s of these duplicates.

Yup, preview in secondary browser is turned off. Further testing reveals that if I have a scripting error or I use shortcuts CMND/Option to bring up a direct link to CSS, or if I try and edit an existing recordset from the bindings panel I'm very likely to get a new temp file. It's never opened in an edit window and the temp file never shows up in the site preview unless I browse directly to it.
Weird and annoying for sure. When I get this intranet site completed I'll try and diagnose the problem. No time in the day to do that right now. Deadlines and family commitments don't leave me with the spare hour or so I'll need to figure out what's going on.

Unable to edit audio file in Logic Pro

I am putting together some apple loop samples in LP 8, just some simple rhythm stuff-
I have a sample that I want to edit in the sample editor window, but I get the message:
"This audio file cannot be changed!
Volume or file is locked"
My editing choices are greyed out.
I went back to the source files to look at the permissions there-(eg, are they read only, or read and write).
In almost all cases they WERE read only, but even when I changed permissions, still got the same error message.
Also, it seems strange that the apple loops would be read only in the FIRST place- To think that I would need to change permissions at the source file of every sample I wanted to edit-each time i worked with a sample....!!! i mean that just doesn't make sense, right?!?!?
Any ideas?
BTW- I opened the same sample audio files in soundtrack pro and was able to edit them fine as I normally would (no messing with permissions, etc etc)
thank You.....

The thing with the Apple Loops is that since editing in the sample editor is destructive... if you did something to an apple loop that was used in other songs all those songs would now have that altered loop.
So for the apple loops you have to save it as a new file before you can edit it.
As far as the other files, just a guess here, but maybe since Logic was already looking at the file before the permissions were changed it remembers the state of permissions when it opened it.
It makes sense that your permissions need to be read-write because the sample editor changes the file as it performs its actions.

Error sending selection to soundtrack pro

Ok, I can NEVER send an audio file to soundtrack pro without this annoying error. Now, I have regular video and the audio attached. I cant send it is a seperate audio file because it's greyed out...
Only option is multitrack, and how do I get it to work?

I repeated my experiment of creating a multi-track Soundtrack project from FCP. I tried it with 3 different projects, selecting both clips and sequences, and it worked fine every time.
What have I learned from this?
1) it was reported that a shortage of disk space could account for the error that I was having. This time I made sure there was plenty of disk space and it worked. That does not mean that disk space was necessarily the original problem, but at least I have something definite to watch out for next time.
2. It was suggested that I replace the clip with a QT movie before the "Send To" or create a new project. No description of what problems these would solve was offered. I guess that they would solve problems associated with corrupted clips or corrupted project files. Unfortunately, I can't say if that was my problem or not, because I didn't recall exactly which clip I tried the first time, and the project has probably been changed many times since that initial experiment.
3. it was suggested that permission problems might be involved, but not enough details were offered for me to construct a meaningful experiment.
4. My original questions were "how do I get FCP to articulate" and "how do I guess what it's upset about?" No suggestions were offered for the former question. FCP is as taciturn as it was before. I do now have a few new guesses, but since I was unable to reproduce the failure, I can't use them.
I hope that Apple will improve FCP's diagnostic messages to be more illuminating.

In Soundtrack Pro I want to change the key of the audio but the feature is greyed out

Hi.
When I work with an audio file in Soundtrack Pro and want to raise or lower the key of the audio
the choice is greyed out and so is change tempo. I am selecting the region and the track but
those 2 features are grey and can't be used. Is there anybody who knows why and how to get
them. Thank you for your time and patience.

I have no idea if it's legal or not, but you could use a proxy software to "spoof" your location.

Best workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 regions/tracks in Soundtrack Pro?

I've searched for a solution for the below question in several forums and to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help!
What is the easiest workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 audio files with Soundtrack Pro 2? And I'm thinking of a process very similar to the Final Cut Pro timeline audio-to- Soundtrack Pro Audio File project workflow.
I'd imagine that a good amount of the time, I'd be editing regions rather than full audio files -- as in, once in a while, while mixing sessions that another engineer has tracked, I'll hear clicks and pops from pre-amps clipping; or I'll hear an air conditioner blower running or something.
Basically, I occasionally hear noise in the arrange window while mixing that I'd like to edit out with Soundtrack Pro, and I need to know the easiest way to send that audio clip to Soundtrack Pro and then back to Final Cut Pro.

Connecting your FS Mobile to powered speakers will not increase latency. Latency is simply the fixed amount of time it takes for your computer to process sounds. Once the sound is processed and available at the outputs of the FS Mobile, it can go anywhere; to a PA mixer, a separate monitor mixer, headphones, etc. One thing you will want to consider when playing live is to have a personal monitor very close to you and pretty loud. The reason being is that the physical distance between you and the main PA speakers will itself induce a type of latency since sound travels at about 1126 ft/sec or 1000 msec of delay for every 1126 feet. Adding this delay to your latency could make holding a groove or pitch for that matter nearly impossible. The delays add up pretty quickly. For example, if your speakers are say 50 feet away from you, you would likely have around 20 msec of delay right there. Add this to your system latency of 20 msec and your up to 40 msec which is like trying to play a rubber guitar underwater. Even if your PA speakers are closer, the delays add up quickly. So having that nice loud monitor right up next to you will insure that you only have to get the feel of your system latency.
