Soundtrack Pro & Exporting

Hi all,
I have a small problem that is driving me nuts. I always manage to open an audio file in Soundtrack Pro and after spending time tweaking effects settings, I find that I can't export. This is because I didn't bring the file into the Soundtrack Pro project. I then have to redo all my effects and settings.
Is there a way to export from the sample editor?
Thanks.
PS - Save As option does not embed the effects.

When you're editing a single wav file, you don't use Export, just use Save As instead.

Soundtrack Pro Export Window unavailable

Just got soundtrack pro and am having trouble exporting files. The file/export option is unavailable (faded out) and I have no idea how to make it available. thanks

Nope. its just a single aiff file that I want to export as an mp3. I did try making a quick recording in a multitrack window, and was able to export that. I just can't export a single audio file.

Export a file from Final Cut Pro for friend in Soundtrack Pro

I have a video artist who I am helping with audio. At first we just used an omf file that worked great, it's just a pain to get all the levels/automation reset. Is there an easy way to do this with Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro? Thanks a million

Final Cut Pro has an OMF export function: File > Export > Audio to OMF.
There is also: File > Export > For Soundtrack
and: File > Send To > Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project.

Export from final cut 4.5 to soundtrack pro

I cannot seem to get my audio to export correctly to soundtrack pro 1.0.1 from final cut 4.5.HD. It is bounced out as a stereo file.
when i export to STP it mixes the audio.
can some one share a work flow for getting audio tracks into STP from FCP 4.5 and keep the tracks seperate?
TIA - Jeremy

maybe i am doing something wrong. i went to the sequence. i cntrl-click the seq and select export aif(s). i did not choose stereo mix.. it still made only one track of audio and left the other 3 alone. maybe it was a mix of all, but i did not test since i only saw one file in the folder. i am new to this concept. i have only mixed music (not sound for video). i saw in the manual for final cut 4 that there is a section in the sequence settings that you could change the numbers of outputs for the sequence. so i set to 1-2, 3-4 since i have a delta 44 (not the best i know). i did the export the same as before. i now have blah1_2.aif and blah3_4.aif. blah1_2.aif has sound (do not know if it is stereo mix or just the audio 1 and audio 2 of the dv file, but blah3_4.aif has nothing. it is a blank file. i am totally confused.

Soundtrack Pro freezes on save and export after upgrading to 10.6

After an eternity, I knew it was time to upgrade my OS. I did so about a week ago. This week, I went to use Soundtrack Pro. It opens, and seems to function normally, but when I click either save or export, the glorious rainbow deathwheel appears. I don't know that this is directly related to the upgrade, but that's the only thing I've done that I think could have affected it.
I'm thinking of pulling another upgrade, but with it not working at present, I'm doubtful that an upgrade could "fix" anything that a previous upgrade broke.
Any idea what I can do?
Thanks.

Same problem (with Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1). Attempting to export to MP3. Did it successfully as recently as a week ago. Don't recall any major update in the OS since then. Followed the guidelines above with no success because (according to my computer) the .pkg file downloaded from Apple seems to be corrupted. Any guidance?
Thanks!

Export tracks from FCP X to Soundtrack Pro

Recording audio on a Canon 7D as guide track and also on a Zoom H4N (sometimes two sources: mic and wireless). Syncing them is easy enough in Plural Eyes (I find that syncing them in FCP X is sometimes off a frame or two).
I want to edit the audio in Soundtrack Pro. I need to export all of the audio tracks (including the audio from the Canon in case I need some of it). Using Share I can't seem to get anything but all the audio sources blended together. How can I export all of the audio tracks separately but still in sync? I want to be able to work with all of the separate audio sources in Soundtrack Pro?

Conforming in Soundtrack Pro and Exporting to Final Cut

Hello.
I have a question on the conforming proces.
After I have conformed my project in Soundtrack Pro, I export it to Final Cut. When it arrives in Final Cut, the audio is perfect, but for some reason it exported the video from the earlier project -- not the conformed project.
Does anyone know how to fix this and make it so that when the conformed project arrives in Final Cut, it brings both the conformed audio and the conformed video?
Thank you!!
Brian

hey there MHASH,
sounds like you're using Soundtrack Pro. this is the Soundtrack Discussion. you should post your question in the Soundtrack Pro discussion.
good luck.

How do I export a 2-channel stereo from a Soundtrack Pro master mix?

I'm using Soundtrack Pro to create a 7-track music mix for a live event in a few weeks. The mixing and balancing of audio levels went fine. But when I exported the project to an AIFF file, the resulting file had 6 channels instead of the normal 2, and its bit rate is 4233 kbps instead of 1411.
In SP I selected File> Export > Master Mix | AIFF File | 16-bit | 44.1 kHz
There don't appear to be any options regarding flattening the audio. So how do I create a normal 2-channel stereo AIFF file from my mix?

Never mind, I figured it out — the problem was that my Submix 1 was marked "1-6" instead of "Stereo 1,2" — problem solved.

Media Disappears After Exporting to Soundtrack Pro

I have an HD project I'm working on that was shot on the HVX200. The files have been converted and imported into FCPS2 and the edit went fine. Then I tried to export the sequence to Soundtrack Pro for audio editing and clips started disappearing from the drive. The only solution I have found is to re-convert and import the files.
This has happened twice now and all the same files. What's happening? Does anyone know of a way to prevent this?

Reports of this strange file disappearing behavior surface every few months and almost always involve having both apps (STP and FCP) open at the same time. Speculation has been that somewhere in the round trip, FCP gets confused and believes the original files are renders and are deleted. And when FCP deletes something, it is gone.
The work around has been to make sure that both apps are not running at the same time - i.e. export your file from FCP then close FCP. Launch STP, make changes then export back and close STP. Launch FCP, import edited file back in and continue on your merry way.
This is a pain for certain. The other way is make sure you always have a set of the media stored offline (which you would anyway with P2 sourced files) and simply do an offline/online reconnect when the files go missing.
Good luck.

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.

Corrupted audio when exporting in Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2

Hello, I am a sound designer and have been evaluating Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 as an alternative to Pro Tools (I work with video editors who use FCP). The program has been working well until I have tried to export my work.
I have created a project containing audio of the same sample rate as both the project and the computer's hardware - 48kHz (eliminating a problem already highlighted by others) and using no DSP. Although realtime playback is fine, the exported audio contains blocks silence as well as wrongly mixed levels.
I have noticed firstly that the problem changes depending on where the loop markers are set. The problem is sometimes eliminated if there is a reasonable amount of silence at the beginning and end of the region being exported. Secondly, I notice that fades are not being exported correctly - either being exported as silence or as full level (as if there is no fade applied).
I have also tried using Soundtrack Pro version 1, and this exports fine. It's worth noting, however, that this version of the software does not allow the user to apply fades to the audio (without opening and editing the waveform itself).
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I know the problem you mean - the plugin settings are lost when exporting. I think this is a separate issue that has been fixed. An example of the problem would be when adding a fade to a sound, and then exporting. The fade portion of the sound would export as silence, but the rest of the sound would export fine. Very bizarre, and if no-one else is experiencing it, possibly it is to do with my machine. Unfortunately it makes the software unusable for me. My colleague, who is running the same setup as me, has exactly the same problem.
The main thing I like about Soundtrack is the ability to add effects non-destructively to each sound, and then go back and edit each effect later on. Also, the video display is good- showing you the video at the beginning and end of a sound when moving it, plus also where your mouse pointer is clicked. It has the potential to be a very good program.
Pro Tools HD is very good but very expensive. I know some people who don't like it, so I think its down to personal preference. It is used in every professional studio I have worked in, making it good for compatibility. You also won't find nasty bugs like the one i've described in Soundtrack - they've been developing the software for a long time. Personally, I find Pro Tools very quick to work with and very stable. Also, I would recommend Pro Tools LE if you're not going to be restricted by 48 tracks and lack of surround mixing.

Exporting from FCP to Soundtrack Pro looses files!!!

I'm working on a project shot on an f900 HD camera with the tapes downconverted to HD-DVCPro to quicktimes. I sb-clipped the QT and I re-synced the audio with the .wav tracks recorded on set. My sequence is set up for a .wav project. I've exported a sequence from FCP by using both Send to Soundtrack Pro and exporting to Soundtrack pro. In both cases I received an error and when I went back to FCP some of my clips were gone. They weren't in the trash or in the Capture folder> I did a search for the file names and they had vanished, or had been renamed. Anyone had this problem before? Should I dump the STP then re-install it? I'll look at Apple support page. Is there a problem between the .wav and aiff? Can Soundtrack Pro bring in .wav or is it only aiff?

Is there a way to export an Avid OMF to Soundtrack Pro?

I have an OMF file from Avid that i have been asked to mix, and I would like to do it in Soundtrack Pro. Is there any way of exporting or converting the files so they can be edited in STP?
Many thanks
Matthew

you would mostly likely need to get something like ADproimport FCP http://www.automaticduck.com/products/pifcp/ to take the OMF into FCP then use FCP to send that to STP

Can I export my Soundtrack Pro audio files, including the video?

I'm new to soundtrack pro 2, could I export my audio files including the video?
I tried, but all i get was audio...
thanks!

Export -> Master Mix - choose the File Type -> *Using Compressor*, this will give you options for re-encoding or preserving the video file.

Urgent: Can't export to SoundTrack Pro

This is really driving me crazy. Until 2 days ago, FCP and Soundtrack Pro were working together seamlessly.
Now, when I go to "Send" a sequence to Soundtrack, everything seems to be going fine, the progress bar is cranking, but when it hits 100% it tells me there was an error exporting to SoundtrackPro. The error window doesn't give any details.
This happens EVERY time. Whether I am exporting an Audio File Project or a MultiTrack Project.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I was wondering; did you ever solve your problem ? By trashing FCP preference and cash files for instance. Perhaps your problems started to occur after an automatic software update and you can relate it to that moment ? (You're on 10.4.4 right ?)
10.4.4 and the latest software updates have caused me nothing but problems and stange behaviour so far and believe me, I'm know a "little bit" about Apple software and solving problems. I think we might have to wait 'till 10.4.5. + Pro Application support 3.2 to get everything and running again
Nevertheless, I hope you've already got your SoundTrack up-and-running again, Cheers JFP
