Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1 is available

There's a STP update, shows up as Pro Applications Update 2009-001 in Software Update, along with updates for other final cut apps.
For the paranoid, I'd recommend making a copy of your STP app (leaving the original with the same name in the same place) before updating in case there are new bugs and you want to revert to 3.0.

Thanks mike.

  • What's wrong with Logic and Soundtrack Pro

    Just spent a frustrating day trying to record with Soundtrack Pro and Logic
    Soundtrack is working on and off
    Problems:
    1. Even if sounds are loaded in the multitrack editor, no sound when playing. Only the Solo (S) button make a track sound. No idea what's wrong?
    2. Trying to record directly into a multitrack sometimes works, and sometimes not.
    3. When making another attempt to record, the noise of death appeared (same as the long thread on Logic.
    Finally I just recorded in Amadeus Pro. At least that software works. It just crazy. Look I accept there is a learning curve but this s just crazy
    Apple is becoming an arrogant company that is becoming more interested in creating gadgets that providing tools that work

    I've worked on both Windows and OS X (Unix), with a few apps over the years. No one can possible work with every app on every hardware configuration possible on every OS available. So to make the statement you actually have is preposterous.
    That said, Logic is the most used software in project studios. Mixing engineers like ProTools better. But the two have way more market share than anything else.
    Hey Ben,
    Sorry to bump your fanboy applecart... (don't mean that as derogatory as it may sound, I liked the play on words)
    From everything that's happening here and the west coast (USA) many of the Logic users I know have switched to other software, the two Logic studios here have gone to ProTools mainly because Logic version 8 was so unstable, there are no more Logic studios here. The studio with the most business uses a Radar system, the second busiest studio is running Sonar. There is a fellow with a mobile system using a MBP and Logic but he uses version 7.
    The University here took bids 3 years ago and opted for PC/Nuendo/RME setups.
    So yes, Logic may indeed have the most project studio percentage but since every jerk can download it for free what is the quality coming out of these project studios? My point is, for professionals, Logic is becoming less and less of an option, most everyone that used it professionally has been disappointed in Apples support of the product, a long time between upgrades and except for user boards like this... literally zero professional support. You know there's problems when you call up Apple and know far more about Logic than the support staff. It seems like both of those are starting to improve but I think it's a little too late. Also... there's still the "blast of white noise" problem that hasn't been addressed, no professional studio can take that kind of chance.
    Apple is using Logic to sell hardware, smart business, absolutely. However, cutting the price in half, removing the copy protection and throwing in the kitchen sink plus seemingly not giving a d@mn that the program is pirated leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

  • Have Soundtrack Pro, how do I "install" loops to FCPx?

    As advised by Apple in 2011 I have FCP7/Studio installed on another startup disk.  I found the Soundtrack Pro audio loops and put them in /Lbrary/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple in the startup disk with FCPx.  When I open up FCPx in the Music & Sound window there are 2 Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro folders!!  Is this a bug?  Or did I do something wrong?  Should I delete the files in the Apple Loops Index, would that fix things?  I like how finally the Apple for Soundtrack Pro folder is no longer greyed out, but I don't like the extra folder there.
    Also, why is there 2 Final Cut Pro Sound Effects folders, one of them is greyed out.

    I need to get "Soundtrack Pro" inorder to populate the "greyed-out" folders?
    Possibly yes. I bought FCP Studio back in 09. STP was one of the suite applications that came with it (it also came with Logic Pro Studio -- as well as ALL the Jam Packs -- so I effectively bought it twice.)  Since Apple put these apps on the App Store (FCPX/Logic), all the extras you *used to get* aren't there anymore. [You can still purchase Logic Studio from Apple's website store.]
    I've also dragged in 3rd party loops (from siliconbeats.com [they have quite a few free loops available], etc.)
    Also, I really don't know if you even CAN buy STP or the Jam Packs anymore. You can buy Logic Studio and you'll still get STP and all the Jam Pack loops that way... but that's rather expensive for just the loops.
    (*Aria*) -- I don't think the empty STP loops folder is a bug. I think it's there for all of the people who owned previous versions of FCP and had STP installed as part of the suite.
    PS - sorry it took this long - I got cut off due to maintenance last night...

  • Soundtrack Pro making a LOT of files - used to working in Logic, need help

    So I'm used to working with Logic Studio/7.2/etc, and it's my first foray into working with Soundtrack Pro at work. My questions are this: When I use the razorblade tool (since I can't find an equivalent to the split tool in logic) in soundtrack to cut up a sequence, it seems to be creating a LOT of extra files:
    http://www.1217design.com/pics/stp_question.png is an example of what I mean. Is this supposed to happen? The recorded files themselves were done in FCP and sent to Soundtrack Pro via the Send to STP Multitrack session function.
    What I'm trying to find out is: Is this supposed to be happening? How can I stop this from happening? Are all of these extra files necessary in order to export the final project? And what will happen if I delete them?
    I just want to know because the folder is now 4.71gb for a 30 second audio file (the final aif export is roughly 30mb), and there's over 200 of these extra files that have been created in the process of working on this project.
    If this is what is necessary to work in Final Cut then I won't be able to work with FCP due to size issues (which is a shame as I feel so much more comfortable working within that environment than I do working in FCP).
    Thanks for the help in advance,
    Sean

    By doing this, will it still create all of those extra files? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Is it just from the blade tool being used?
    For all edits, yeah, baby, STP will generate more files than cows create methane.
    First, I know what works for me, but I'm still learning, so I strongly encourage you to keep a COMPLETE BACKUP of all projects until you know your workflow. Also, you may have Preferences set up differently than I do, so you may not find the same paths as what I describe here.
    When you have an audio file the way you want it, and you're confident that you won't need those edit files again (be SURE) Process > Flatten All Actions (or Audible Actions) and Save that audio file. Then -- as I understand it so far -- you can safely trash all the edits related to that file. (If you use Photoshop or similar visual programs, it's the same idea.)
    During my first few weeks of intensive STP work, my drive grew more and more sluggish, for no reasons known to me. I saw disk space shrinking rapidly. Finally I figured it had to have something to do with STP, so I started searching and eventually I found my edits piling up in home/Documents/Soundtrack Pro Documents, especially (for me) in Edited Media. Since they all came from projects I'd finished and exported to AAC and MP3, I was comfortable trashing them all. Suddenly, whoa, I had an extra 12 GB of disk space available.
    Just keep those edit files until you are CERTAIN that you know what you're doing and that you're DONE. Otherwise, when some project needs one precious little 3MB turn of a phrase, you may find yourself confronting suicidal or homicidal tendencies.
    I welcome further clarification and/or correction from people who know more and can explain it better.

  • 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.

  • TS2847 Soundtrack Pro 3.0 output problem

    In Soundtrack Pro 3.0 the meters move but no sound comes out. I've tried removing the AU plug-ins to no avail.  Logic work just fine.  FCP X works fine. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?

    I am starting to think that what i ask cannot be done! The "in" point marks a cycle region in the project. Even if i make this region active and/or select that region, the export option still bounces the project from the beginning. It can only be done if i use the "trim in point to playhead" option through "clip" menu, because the project is obviously deleted from the beginning to that position.
    I am stuck to a problem that should have a clearer way to do. Or am i missing something?
    Again thanks for the immediate reply.

  • Soundtrack Pro with 4 CPU's

    Hi,
    will Soundtrack Pro use all 4 CPU's during Analyse for example.

    Does Final Cut Studio run on the new Intel-based Mac computers?
    A Universal version of Final Cut Studio is now available. Universal applications are designed to run natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers. All owners of Final Cut Studio are eligible for a crossgrade to the Universal version for $49. (Note: The previous version of Final Cut Studio is not supported on Intel-based Macs.)

  • Why cant Soundtrack Pro be sold seperately?

    Hello, first time poster on the forum and i have a couple of questions on my mind.
    I'm getting a microphone w/pop filter, sound foam, and a mixer. I am thinking of buying Logic Pro 7 as my audio program, as well as soundtrack pro. The thing is, I cant buy Soundtrack Pro separately. The audio reduction in soundtrack pro is amazing and Logic Pro 7 doesn't offer that feature, which is what I want. I was thinking of buying Logic Pro 7 and Soundtrack Pro and using them together, but unfortunately Soundtrack Pro isn't sold separately. I would have to buy Final Cut Studio which is $1299 and Logic which is $999. Spending $2,300 hundred for both is ridiculous because I just want Soundtrack pro. My question is why isn't it sold separately, and if it is does anyone know where I can buy it?
    Thanks
    Steve

    It's not a program designed to appeal to the sound
    design or the musical song & dance group.
    Your opinion. While I would never use it for music, it's a good start at an app for sound designers. Unfortunately, they haven't given it the updates it needs.
    It's a program designed to assist video editors to
    prepare a mix that would suffice for a preview
    screening & do a rough sketch to present to an actual
    sound designer using Logic or Pro Tools indicating
    what the editor or director had in mind so that the
    sound designer can come up with something better.
    While Logic can be used for sound design, it is not remotely designed for it and in some respects is worse than even the primitive release of STP. And I honestly think it could take the place of Pro Tools in many situations if they put the resources into updating it.
    In my opinion, they wanted to put an end to all the
    carping from the groups who bought the program for
    the wrong reason. In most cases these individuals
    have no interest in FCP, DVDSP or Motion. They want
    to make music. I think the decent thing for Apple to
    do is to offer to refund their money or at least give
    them a credit towards another Apple program such as
    Logic.
    I don't think people bought the app for the wrong reason (I think few if any bought it to "make music"). I just think that people bought the app not realizing that Apple would abandon it and never update it past a version that is buggy and missing essential features.
    While I'm annoyed with Apple and would certainly take a refund, I'm reluctant to give the program up because even the weak version it is at now has some features that I can't do in Logic (and the versions of PT available don't interest me).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Soundtrack Pro skipped during install

    Greetings:
    I recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio from the previous Studio version. Prior to installing the latest FCS, I had installed Logic Express 8.
    All went well with the FCS update, except for Soundtrack, which the installer simply skipped, and continues to do so.

  • Creating a Video Podcast in Soundtrack Pro

    sorry, posted this in the wrong place

    I'm not sure if this information will help you or not...but I did a podcast in Soundtrack Pro and saved it (using their podcast tutorial) to an M4A file. (I have an enhanced podcast.) I had trouble submitting the entire complete podcast to itunes, until I imported it to garage band, then iweb and filled out the podcast info again and let iweb submit it to itunes...they must do encoding in the back office of those programs, and my podcast was accepted by itunes everything intact. It appears that garage band and itunes know just what to compress to make it podcast ready. I have met with mac genius's, and done one on one appointments, but no one at my Mac store had ever submitted a podcast using Soundtrack Pro, so I knew more than they did having read the tutuorials. I'll watch this post to see what else you learn...as education about making Final Cut stuff podcast available in itunes is hard to find.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Popping/Crackling in Soundtrack Pro

    I recently bought a new Mac Pro (Dual quad 3.0 with 4 GB Memory, tyvm...) and installed STP 1.0.3; I downloaded and installed all available updates.
    Problem: when I am using the program, working on a project, both the samples i am
    previewing as well as the exported project (exported as a .aif file) have a crackle or popping which is quite severe- I am not clipping, ie, the output levels are OK; I checked all the audio connections (although since it happens while I'm
    working on a project and just previewing clips in the browser, I realize audio connectios aren't at fault here.
    I am using internal 750 gb hardrives, and have the application on hardrive 1, with my data, samples, etc, on hardrive2.
    Any ideas?
    Thank You-

    I found this in the archives: sounds VERY similar- Could this be the problem??
    If so, couldn't one just cover the openings????
    See following:
    I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard having waited for ProTools LE to be compatible with the new OS. Now that I upgraded to OS 10.5.4 and ProTools LE 7.4.2, every time I play anything through Soundtrack Pro (v2.0.2) I get clicking or popping or stuttering, whatever you want to call it, during playback. I didn't change any settings, but I'm no sound engineer, so I'm not sure what to check to see what is causing it. I can take the same file and play it through ProTools, Quicktime, iMovie, anything, and it will play fine, just not in Soundtrack Pro. I'm up to date on all software upgrades.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    My particular G5 model has a known bug. Spent over an hour online with an Apple Tech who went through several possibilities until he found the answer. The problem is the optical ports on the backside of the computer. IF they are not being used, there might be an issue with stray or ambient light wreaking havoc with the sample rate of Soundtrack Pro. I'm not making this up. The solution was to go buy a Toslink optical cable and plug it into both ports creating a loop. The sample rate clock was jumping back and forth from 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz and causing the popping when playing anything in Soundtrack Pro. Problem has been solved. It didn't appear until I upgraded to Leopard, have no idea why, but I feel better now that it wasn't something I did that I couldn't figure out.
    Thanks to Apple Tech Support.
