Soundtrack Pro freezing with plugins issue

When I try to open Soundtrack Pro it freezes whilst trying to load the plug ins on one plugin in particular. Yet when I open Logic it has no problems with this plugin.
Is there any key I can hold down to prevent Soundtrack Pro scanning my plugin folder?
I've opened Logic's audio unit manager and disabled the offending plugins, but this doesn't seem to have changed anything as Soundtrack Pro still freezes when it scans the same plugins. I've also reinstalled Soundtrack Pro, but the problem still occurs.
Any ideas?

Here are a few places to check:
STP preferences for sync:
STP preferences for recording
The System Preferences for audio in and out
and then the app: Audio Midi Setup

    Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up. I've tried inserting the Mac OS X install disc to run the hardware test(Restart and hold down D), But it still does nothing. Just the black screen. Now I can't get the disc out. I've tried holding down the track pad key upon start up but that doesn't work neither.
    What do I do??? Please help.

    Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
    http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
    That will give you all the information on your Mac.
    This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
    Good luck!

  • URGENT-  I need help: Soundtrack Pro Freezing Problem!!

    I just sent my FCP project to a multitrack project in Soundtrack Pro, but when i want to work on the Soundtrack Pro project, everything keeps freezing. its dead slow!
    i can barely do anything with it!
    whats the problem? and how can i solve it?

    Couple of possibilities. One, your media files are huge. STP reference the entire media of a clip edited in FCP . . . not just the edited portion. That can result in some large files being brought over. Also, when you send a clip over, use the base layer option if you can, or export an mp4 to bring in to STP.
    If you're ready to do the post audio work on a finished FCP project, export an omf file. Close FCP, then open the omf file in STP. That can help.
    Other "obvious" but still good to review considerations . . . have enough RAM? Is there enough disk space? Are you using a different media drive than where the system is located?

  • Soundtrack Pro Freeze

    Someone please help me.
    here's my system
    4x2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
    4GB RAM
    Version 10.5.2
    Soundtrack Pro Academic
    Version 1.1
    here's what happens.
    i know its mostly coincidence but, every time i open Soundtrack just to "goof around" it starts up and works normally. when i'm working on something with a deadline... it freezes. just a minute ago i got it to open a clip i had sent from FCP to clean up some noise. it started up and loaded in the clip then it started to freeze. what i noticed today was that after i force quit that i no longer have audio in FCP. everything in the timeline will play. the meters show audio, but nothing is coming through the speakers. i searched the forum and say a post from someone with a similar problem. someone else posted a possible solution of installing Pro App Update and they provided a link. I d/l the update but can't install it because the installer says that neither of my volumes are eligible.
    i'm at my whits end! i've been compromising my videos by completing them with uncleaned audio and its driving me nuts. i'm having flash backs to my earlier days of working with a beat up POS PC and having to cross my fingers every time i turned the stupid thing on.

    I had a similar problem. Soundtrack Pro 1.1 would function just fine, until I tried to play any audio. Then it would freeze. I also noticed that there would be a slight "buzz" in my headphones whenever Soundtrack was open. Nothing I tried worked, until I popped open Soundtrack's preferences, and under the 'General' tab under 'Start Up,' I unchecked "Switch Hardware Sample Rate to Match Document."
    This immediately solved the problem! Audio plays just fine, no more buzz and no more freezing! Maybe this will work for you?

  • Soundtrack Pro Distorting with Interface

    Hey all,
    I have a strange problem when using Soundtrack Pro (2.0.2). It works fine with my Macbook Pro sound card alone, but when I run it through my interface (M-box2) the program seems to act as if there is a gain of 1-3dB (most times) and usually distorts/clips.
    I have no idea why this should be happening, but it's quite frustrating that I have to disconnect my interface every time I want to use the program. I don't have this issue with any other DAW.
    I just used a test tone (sine wave) with out any trouble between the two methods, but it was at about -12db. I can hear the problem with most loud pop/rock audio.
    Thanks, any help appreciated.

  • 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!

  • How many music beds does Soundtrack Pro come with?

    In Apple's literature, they state that Soundtrack Pro 3 comes +"with over 6000 royalty-free Foley effects, sound effects, and music beds"+ Out of the stated 6000 are :music beds" if anyone knows. (round figure is fine) We talking hundreds or thousands?
    Thanks
    Bryan

    Hundreds of music beds that begin and end - if you count a track that has a 30, 60, 3 minute version as 3 tracks.

  • Integrate Soundtrack Pro script with Automator

    I have a Soundtrack Pro script that I would like to somehow use with Automator. Right now I simply drop audio files onto the icon of this script and it does it's thing. I would like to set up a type of watch folder using folder actions so that when I put files into a folder, the script automatically runs and processes the file(s), then moves them to a "done" folder. I have tried playing around in Automator but got nowhere with it. I have no idea how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to make this work. This is the STP script (Applescript generated automatically from STP) that I use.

    without fully understanding what's going on with the script I believe you can add a line after
    processFile(this_item)
    end if
    tell application "finder" to move this_item to folder "My folder" of home
    This will move it to the folder called "My folder" at teh top level of your home directory. to express a longer folder path you'd use something like this
    tell application "finder" to move this_item to folder folder "1" of folder "My folder" of home
    I hope you get the idea.

  • Move Soundtrack Pro Playhead with Applescript?

    I've opened an audio file in Soundtrack Pro with Applescript and would like to move the playhead to the end of the file to insert silence. Seems simple but I've struggled a lot. How might I do this?
    Unlike Microsoft Word, Excel etc. there is relatively little discussion out there on Soundtrack Pro with Applescript. I'd love to just utilize terms from the Soundtrack Pro Applescript dictionary, but the truth is that I'm incapable of using the dictionary effectively. Just like the English language, if you don't know how to put the words together, the dictionary doesn't help you make a sentence; any advice on where/how to learn to put Applescript dictionary terms to use?
    I read an entire beginner's book ("A Beginner's Guide: Applescript") but it didn't discuss dictionaries : (.
    Thank you so much for your help!

  • Soundtrack Pro compatible with Final Cut Express?

    I have Final Cut Express 4 installed and installed Logic Studio. Soundtrack Pro and Compressor did not install. Are these programs not compatible with FC Express?

    From the Apogee website:
    "Duet features two superb microphone inputs, each with phantom power and up to 75dB of gain. With Duet, you can record a pristine vocal track while playing your guitar or keyboard, stereo mic your acoustic or even capture a live concert."

  • MacBook Pro freezing with external monitor?

    I recently got an external monitor to use with my MBP (early 09). So it seems that if I have my monitor hooked up (and maybe also when my power cable is plugged in) and my computer goes into sleep mode, the whole thing freezes and i have to hard restart my MBP. Is there a reason it is doing this? Also, if i close my MBP, instead of the computer going to sleep, it makes it go into mirror display mode and keeps it running on my external monitor (and sometimes it doesnt even go into sleep mode...). i found this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190417?start=165&tstart=0 and it say to use the line:
    "sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0""
    in the terminal to make lion/ML work like SL, but any clue what else that will change?

    Hi sgibson,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the external display on your MacBook Pro. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature or scope of the issue you are describing. Are you using the display in extended desktop or mirroring mode? If you are using it in extended desktop mode, is the issue limited to the external display, or does it also freeze the primary display as well? Does the same thing happen if the display is directly connected to the MacBook Pro (i.e. without the dock)? If you continue having issues, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful in isolating the cause:

  • MacBook Pro Freezing with Multiple Displays

    Hi guys,
    I've been having a bit of an issue with my MacBook Pro and its handling of multiple displays. I recently bought a third-party adapter off Amazon (that was highly rated and Prime eligible, so it wasn't some completely unknown, 1 dollar adapter). I'm driving two displays: a 1600x900 display over HDMI, and a 1920x1080 display over DVI via the aforementioned adapter.
    Whenever I use the adapter with any of these displays, I get intermittent freezes. The computer will freeze for about 10 seconds every so often, and everything besides audio will halt. Audio continues to play back just fine, just any animations/video will freeze. If I have the iTunes visualizer up, it'll freeze. If I have a video up, same thing.
    I initially thought it was the adapter, but upon taking it to another retina MacBook Pro (15"), it works just fine, no freezes. Furthermore, if I do something as nuts as taking said adapter, and throwing an HDMI-to-DVI adapter onto the Thunderbolt-to-DVI adapter, the freezes magically go away. Not sure what's making that work, but its impractical since I already have an HDMI port on my MBP.
    Here's a list of what I've tried to suss out the problem:
    1. Reset SMC. No dice.
    2. Zapped PRAM. No dice.
    3. Watched Activity Monitor and Console when freeze occurs. Nothing out of the ordinary appears.
    4. Swapped display configurations around. Not much changed.
    5. Tried seeing if the freezes persist in safe boot: Yes, they do.
    6. Tried seeing if the freezes persist in recovery: Yes, they do.
    7. Tried combining the two adapter I have on hand (DVI-HDMI and TB-DVI) and running one display over HDMI from the combined adapter: Freezes have gone away for whatever reason.
    Anyone have any idea what might be going on? If there's any conclusion I can draw from this, it's that either pure DVI output is broken on my machine, or somehow it's still the adapter I bought causing the freezes. I'm not sure what to do, and while I want to take this machine into the Genius Bar and let them poke at it, trying to reproduce this problem might be really hard in that environment. :/

    Hello, exactly the same as mine (MBP early '08) now after nearly 3 year, confronted with the same.
    Unfortunately, my first MBP late '07 went through the same problem (no flickering the screen just freeze out of nothing, and 2 logic board, memory replacment didn't help, maybe even 3 logic boards - it's a while ;)) Anyway I got this as replacement. And it just worked fine until yesterday.
    Bad now, my AppleCare startet with the first MBP and so its not longer valid. Have my Genius appointment on Saturday and hope it will not be to frustrating.
    As 3 years ago I have been reading through the forums and later followd partly these Nvidia discussion, seems to me there is more behind and the root cause never was found. And since Apple has changed the model entirely, I guess rc will never be found.
    I will let you know the outcome of the talk on Saturday.

  • MacBook Pro freezes with external monitor

    Hardware: A mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel, OSX 10.10.1, 8 GB RAM, connected to 23-inch Dell monitor via VGA through a Targus dock.
    The external monitor frequently (four times today) freezes for no apparent reason. The cursor moves around the screen, but won't respond to clicks. The only way to clear the problem is to force a power down and reboot.

  • Macbook Pro Freezes with Screen Distortion and other problems...

    So I've had my 13' Macbook Pro for about 9 months and I am encountering problems with it. My Macbook would sometimes freeze at random and the screen would distort as well, also, the screen would react whenever I would move the laptop around by either reverting back to a normal screen (still frozen) or more distortion which leads me to believe that it might have something to do with the hardware. But all this is temporarily solved when I force shut off my laptop (hold the power button for 3 seconds) and restart it. It can start up again with no problem, but this happens again, more early than usual and becomes more consatnt. However this is lessened whenever I don't use my laptop for an extended amount of time, but it does happens again whenever I do use it for some time.
    Another problem I've been encountering is that, at times after I force shut off the laptop, my computer would not turn back on. Instead, the laptop beeps 3 times, pause, then beep 3 times again. I have looked into this and discovered that this means that I have "No Good Banks"..........I have no idea what this means but I guess it means that I might have faulty RAM.
    What I ask is that if anyone has had similar problems and if they know what to do or what exactly what the problem is so that I might be able to do something about it.
    Info about Macbook:
    Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 4GB 1600 Mhz DDR3

    Bump. Anyone have any ideas on this?
    I "shut it off" last night, but when I turned it on again tomorrow, it turned out it didn't quite shut down?
    It booted to the grey log-in screen, basically.
    I've also come to the realisation that my charger isn't registered (the LED isn't orange/green like it usually is), and I can't get a "battery status" (I'm sure it has another name, I just don't know what it is) when I click on the little button on the left hand side of the laptop. Usually, it would show green dots/LEDS to tell me how far along it's charged, but now I get nothing.
    I get the distinct feeling something's up with my battery, and maybe my RAM (because of the repeated triple beep after shutting down last night).
