Soundtrack Pro 3 training

I'd like to get some basic training in Soundtrack Pro 3 that could get me started as a novice. I've cracked opened Soundtrack a few times and played around with it, but I really didn't know what I was doing. I know some stuff about working with sound, and most of the components in Soundtrack are things I understand, but I need something to get me started.
I've enjoyed stuff from Ripple Training in the past, but the only thing I see there is their "Sound Editing & Mastering in Soundtrack Pro" package. Scanning through the lessons, this looks extremely complex. I'm looking for something more along the line of their "Motion Fast Forward" series.
Any suggestions?

Robert,
I have "Motion 3 Fast Forward" and at least one other package from Ripple Training, and these work well for me. However, the description of the Soundtrack package says, "Whether you're an editor working in Final Cut Pro, or a dedicated sound mixer with experience using other audio workstations, this tutorial presents a complete picture on how to edit, process, mix and ultimately master your soundtracks using Apple' Soundtrack Pro 2."
To me, that sounds more complex, but I'm hearing you say that isn't the case. Correct?
I DO know a fair amount about audio, I'm just looking for a resource that will give me clear instructions about how to get where I want to go.

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.

How To: Make Beats in LOGIC/Soundtrack Pro - sample is LOOP Adrenaline Loop

1) What is the best way to make a loops (similar) to the loop e.g. that comes with Logic, Soundtrack Pro that is in the category Rythmatic (Adrenaline Electronic Long (TITLE)), I have used ableton and SX, Nuendo, Acid....just trying to find the easiest way -not knowing the way to work quickly is a bit frustrating....
2) What key command in logic when double clicked (or key command) will open the aiff file in Sound Track and after editing put back into Logic?
3) Are there any good books on Logic 8 or on-line video training available yet?
4) Due to me not having enough space on MBP, I did not install orchestral jam pack - is this why the templates for ORCHESTRAL DO NOT show up in templates? If so, how do I repair.
5) I forget ? 5 LOL.

Anyone?
Thanks.

Soundtrack Pro course in Ireland

Apple Certified Pro soundtrack pro course confirmed for June in Filmbase, Temple Bar
http://filmbase.ie/training/final_cut.php

You MIGHT be able to route audio from LE to Soundtrack Pro using something like Soundflower or JackOSX, use the SP plugs on those inputs, and then route the audio back to LE, again using JackOSX or Soundflower.
There will be some latency involved in this, which LE should compensate for. If not, you can use the LatencyFixer plugin from Expert Sleepers (http://www.collective.co.uk/expertsleepers/latencyfixer.html).
Anyway, this is a little convoluted, but it could work.

Soundtrack pro round tripping to FCP

Hello,
I've been using FCP for a while now but I'm new to soundtrack Pro and working my way through the Apple Pro Training Series: Sound Editing in Final Cut Studio and soundtrack Pro. Everything is going fine and i'm getting into it - even if a bit slowly!
However when I've tried to do the round-tripping back into FCp the file doesn't appear like it says it will after export. I've just done Lesson 3 in the book (with the same thing happening to me in lesson 2) where I have finished my edit in Soundtrack Pro and I go to export, the process bar comes up and then it takes me back to FCP and my OLD sequence but the NEW sequence doesn't appear. The book says the import XML dialog will appear but it doesn't .....
I can import it manually by going to where I have saved the exported file but surely the whole idea of this round-tripping is to do it for you so you don't have to search for it...
Does anyone have any ideas why this is? Is it just as simple as something is ticked or selected somewhere?
Thanks

How do i use the stretching tool in soundtrack pro

i have a split track song with muitiple track.got them all loaded in soundtrack pro,when i play the track there are i lot of skips please help big project for fathers day

O.K. so do you need to slow down the music, or speed it up? That's what the stretching tool is for, like in a video scene where the music slows to the tempo the actors are speaking. To use it; you must have an audio file: export multiple tracks by selecting them and choosing Export from the file menu. If you're trying to interlace audio then you should export each track individually and paste them together in an audio file. Next select the audio you want to change then drag the parameters of the selected music: either forwards to delay, or backwards to speed up, just like changing the crop of a photo. Be aware that you can drastically change the audio, trial and error works best, just use Edit>undo till you get it. Also try removing some clicks and pops in analysis.

Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?

Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?
I understand they are royalty free, I am just confused about using the actual loops for films, videos, etc - if there is a special license you must purchase or what?
Yes sure, it's a library and may be used a lot - but is it legal or against agreement?
And to clarify - what about music I create on the program , that is ok right?

If you purchased the software you have the right to use the loops that came with the software in the software to make whatever you want.

Have Added Soundtrack Pro Loops. Now Need To Delete Greyed Out Duplicates?

As you know, only half the loops come on the DVD and the rest have to be downloaded.
The downloadable loops appear greyed out in the Loops Browser until you download them.
I have added my Soundtrack Pro loops to the Loops Browser so now every downloadable loop is duplicated.
One is playable (the STP one) whilst the other is greyed out.
Is there any way of deleting the greyed out names?

Installing logic studio 9, soundtrack pro and loops utility greyed out

Hi,
I'm trying to reinstal logic studio 9 and on the screen where you select and deselect the instal options soundtrack pro (and therefore compressor) are labelled as skip and greyed out not allowing select. The same is true for the apple loops utility. I'm pretty sure i removed all the files of previous instal. Anyone help?

nevermind i found this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/10690183#10690183

Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 Doesn't Open

STP won't launch at all. I installed everything from FCS2 once, then noticed STP doesn't open (all the other programs work). So, I trashed STP and the preferences and the logs and just reinstalled that from the DVD, then did the software update to STP 2.0.2. I didn't open STP from the time I uninstalled it until it finished updating.
All I still see is the white launch screen that says "Soundtrack Pro" (it doesn't even get to the GUI). The icon bounces in the dock for a while, then it'll just sit there, without the program running indicator. It says that it's not responding, and when I force quit it, it says it "quit while unresponsive."
Any suggestions?

I got an error message now:
An Unexpected Problem
NSInvalidArgumentException
* +[DebugController sharedInstance]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x7d8700.
It's only happened once; the next time I opened STP didn't show the message, it just hung again.

Soundtrack Pro Won't Refresh And Keeps Crashing!

Hi,
Got a lot of issues with Soundtrack Pro, so much so that I've been using the basic Soundtrack version rather than the upgrade.
I'm using a G4 with FCP HD and the biggest problem I have with Soundtrack Pro is that it just keeps crashing!! I've also found that trying to use the Graphic Equalizer function crashes everything, from Sountrack Pro, Soundtrack, right through to Final Cut. Every other audio filter works fine in Final Cut, except for the EQ filter. But lots of functions inside Soundtrack Pro, crash it.
I can only use it for short clips and short periods of times . But the worst thing is, if I save a clip either from Final Cut or from Soundtrack Pro itself, the moment I try and open that new clip, it doesn't appear in the browser. I have to close the software down, open it and THEN it appears in the browser. I can't find anyway of refreshing the file list.
Strangely this 'saved files not appearing' problem also happens in DVDSP, as well as Soundtrack Pro, but it never happens in Final Cut HD. Any solutions?

"is there anything unusual about the location where you save these files? (on a network volume, or something)"
I don't think so, although my boot drive was formatted separately from my video drive, they are both internal. But it doesn't matter if I save the file on the video drive or the boot drive, STP won't see them until I shut the program down and reopen it again.

Soundtrack Pro 2 keeps crashing...please somebody help :(

So here's my problem.
I am running Soundtrack Pro 2 on my Mac Pro along with my Digi003. Both Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio 8 are installed on my computer. Every application works fine except for STP2 that keeps crashing all the time.
I tried to uninstall it, reinstall it, reinstall Compressor, downloaded updates, Core Audio updates as well for the 003, downloaded the last Pro Applications Support but nothing seems to cut it.
The issue is as follow. I launch STP, the application scans (for the hundredth time) my plugins and detects something like 287 plugins. HOWEVER, the application crashes when the counter goes to 290.
My personal feeling is that the problem might come from either a conflict between Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio 8 that installed both STP2 or, most likely, three plugins (the difference between 290 and 287) that STP2 has a problem with.
These last plugins scanned seem to be Amplitube X-Gear, a demo I deleted, Melodyne, that I downloaded lately and I guess something else. Also, I precise that I have not been able to rn STP for almost a year and as I am about to work on the post of a new film, I would love to use it.
The last thing I did was running the Terminal app that gave me a detailed report of the problem. I don't understand where it comes from though. So here's the report. If somebody can help, I greatly appreciate it!

Probably an imcompatible plug-in.
Try renaming the plug-in folder momentarily, see if it boots okay.
If it does then you'll have to isolate which plug-in is causing the problem.

How do I get a mixer to show up in Soundtrack Pro?

The problem is not using a mixer but I can't get one to show. I see my sound track, (can play) and did analysis and cleaned up but clicking all mixer buttons and choosing a different layout all 3 choices never give me a mixer.
The lower pane with the mixer highlighted is blank. I also set up a new project choosing multitrack with mixers or Seperate Mixer and video which show the mixers but as soon as I put my aif file into Soundtrack the mixer disappears from the window only the wave forms are there. I have posted this several times.There must be somebody who has a clue what is going on here? (Apple?)Thank you.
W.W.

Since nobody could answer my cry for help (no you don't find it in the manual) I am entitled to the 10 points finding the solution. Here is how to get around not being able to get a mixer for your aif file you want to edit. When you double click Soundtrack Pro an empty window opens with an empty track 1 and track 2.
As a seasoned Apple user you think drag and drop the .aif audio file into those tracks you want to edit and use in your movie. Well you are in for a three day search for answers how to get that mixer to open that you want to use! If somebody (or the manual) would just say you can't do that you could have saved that time to do what you need to do!
In order to get the mixer(s) you need you must:
1. click on "New Project" on the top left: window opens with both video and audio mixer tracks in which you can drop you audio. You can than open Layouts and choose from 3 layout choices of mixers. Happy panning and mixing.

While creating a project in Garage Band my sample tracks were cut short then overwritten in soundtrack pro. Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?

While creating a project in Garage Band 09 my sample tracks were being cut short- I then discovered they had been overwritten in soundtrack pro.
Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?
I never opened soundtrack pro to edit the track just Garage band....the track just mysteriously saved as half the track.
I am running Lion and I upgraded my Garage band to '11 hoping it would resolve the issue...it didn't. Now I can't find that tracks at all.
The 2 songs having the issue are titled Exotic Yearning and Reunion.
I am in the process of reinstalling the audio content from my discs. I just don't want to run into this again.
Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

After spending some time reinstalling the soundtrack pro 3 content I opened the full track called Reunion.
It showed back up in Garage Band.*It was the full track and wasn't chopped off until I dragged it onto the project. Then it showed up chopped.
Then I closed Garaged band and opened soundtrack pro 3....The song was again chopped off at the 1:33min mark
Very Frusterated...:(

TS2510 problem with soundtrack pro v2.0.2 under snow leopard

Hi, I've just upgraded my mac book to snow leopard and now when I try to record something with soundtrack pro v2.0.2 through the line input jack, the internal microphone is still switched on and none of the preferences allow me to switch to the input jack,ks
Does anyone know whether STP v2.0.2 will run ok under snow leopard? If I need to upgrade the drivers, does anyone know where I can find these and how to instal them.
Many thanks.

There are no "drivers".
Use Audio MIDI Setup to set your audio input.
Good luck.
