Syncing Sound with Soundtrack Pro

Hi guys,
Having a bit of a nightmare with some audio in Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro.
We've recored audio on a Sony FS-100 at (25fps, 48kHz) and synced it with audio from a Zoom H4n (48kHz). The FS-100 has been imported with Log and Transfer and the Zoom audio is being dragged in straight from the original .wav files.
Problem is, that once a clip gets past around 3 minutes the audio gradually becomes out of sync. I have managed to rectify the situation by changing the speed of the audio to 99.88% however the editor has already edited half the project without doing this (it's a 40 minute film). So I was wondering if there was a workaround?
Also when editing the audio in Soundtrack Pro and exporting as a .wav to put back into FCP, the file gradually creeps out of sync also.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks very much,
Pumpkin

You need to create a new easy setup.  go to audio video settings and choose all the appropriate settings.  If you can't find exactly what you want, go in to each individual tab and duplicate and customize a preset and make sure it's checked.  Then return to the first tab and "create easy setup."
After working in FCP since version 1, I recently discovered that creating and using the correct easy setup can solve a number of mysterious problems.

  • 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.

  • Trying to get this "One" sound with Logic pro 8

    Hi everyone i spent like 2 hours last night trying to get this sound with Logic Pro 8 soft synths trying to find a sound exactly like or close to this sound: http://home.comcast.net/~tommykry/Weezer%20-%20Troublemaker.mp3
    The sound can be heard at 00:19 and through out the song, its like a low bass synth kind of sound that drifts down when its hit, like a portamento kind of thing. In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide. ive heard this sound in trance and techno songs as well. I have Sonar 8 and pro tools 8 as well and can look there if i have too, also have an Access viress Ti, But im trying to do this all in Logic. Like i said i played around for like more than 2 hours going through most of all the Logic synths, patch after patch trying to find something close i could tweak, so if anyone has more experience with The Soft synths in Logic Pro 8 and can steer me in the right direction i would be greatful.
    Thanks
    Tommy

    He could just be triggering a bass slide sample...
    It's some kind of bass sound that bends down, in a similar style to what a bass player might do. Whether it's a real bass or a synth is difficult to say (and probably doesn't matter a great deal), but in any case it's certainly compressed, and grunged up dirty with some amp sim or distortion...
    Try that route...

  • Is it possible to bounce 5.1 Surround sound with Logic Pro 7.1?

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to create a song and bounce it in 5.1 Surround sound with Logic Pro 7.1.1 without extra software and hardware?
    Thanks in advance!

    This will let you make a DVD-Audio disc in Mac. It's free. It is command line only, and not for non-savy computer users.
    There are other commerical programs out there that make DVD-Audio discs. Search google for DVD-Audio OS X. These programs cost $100+

  • Voice Over with Soundtrack Pro

    I have spent about 8 hours on this and can't figure out how to voice over with Soundtrack Pro. I could do it with Soundtrack but something is different with this new version. I have not used StP that much, so I am relying on you pros out there to get me started in the right direction! Thanks everyone for your help.
    I did search for related topics but found nothing that was along the lines of what I needed.

    Well, I finally found that if I switch to standard layout then the "transport controls" appear. For some reason they are not in the other layout that has separate mixer and video windows. Now I am recording and everything is fine.

  • Using Mbox 2 with Soundtrack Pro

    Hi all. I was wondering if I can use an Mbox 2 to record audio with Soundtrack Pro, or do I have to use ProTools?

    You should be able to use a digidesign interface with STP by utilizing the digi CoreAudio driver.

  • Setting Up Surround Sound in Soundtrack Pro 3

    Something very strange is happening. I have a surround sound set up using Moto828. When I listen to the channel allocation in Audio Midi Set up it sounds fine. However the same channels don't transfer over to Soundtrack Pro. I also assign them properly in the individual tracks and on the Submix.
    What am I missing? If its an issue, I did upgrade the file from a 2.2 File that I was working on another system with.
    Does anyone have any ideas of that it could be?
    Thanks!
    Blith

    Hey Blithe
    I'm the same guy that answered over at the DP site... for surround and 828MkII use a STP 1-6 output setting on your submixes and plug you speakers into the back of the 828 with Soundtrack channels 1 & 2 => your 828 Main Outs. Analog output 1 => Center; 2 => LFE; 3 => Ls and output 4 => Rs
    Glad you got stereo working!

  • ITunes sync prob with macbook pro & iphone4s

    I can't get my iTunes on Macbook pro to transfer or sync tunes with my iphone4s. It only transfers the other way from  phone to MBpro. If I click on sync, it spins the symbol but nothing happens. It can only "share" when physically connected.

    I found iTunes version 10.6.3!  Solved... for now.

  • Help with soundtrack pro..breaking tracks up

    whenever capture my video, I always capture the entire tape at a time (or I cut it up 10 min each) and from that I break it down smaller
    now suppose I have a 1 min clip that I cut from the 10 min captured footage...when I send that clip to soundtrack pro in order to fix the audio, it opens up the ENTIRE captured video (10 min), therefore I end up working with a bigger file, and taking up more space that I want it to whenever I save it with the filters on..
    do you know how I can prevent soundtrack from opening the original captured track, and just allow me to just handle the 1 minute that I only want fixed up?
    thanks!

    Right-click on clip to create and send a soundtrack pro audio project (stap)and click on the 'send only referenced media' box to send only the portion you are working on

  • With Soundtrack Pro how, please, can I audio from a phone call sound better?

    How can I make audio recorded over a telephone sound better... removed hum and clips but it still sounds, well awful. Is there anyway to make it sound, you know, better?

  • How to get a good vocal sound with Logic Pro 9

    I apologize for the ignorance of this question, but I am really looking to figure out a way to get my vocals to sound the way I would like them to sound, but I'm not really sure where to start.
    I started out using Garageband years ago, and really like the vocal setting of "Live Performance" when I went to real instrument/vocal.  It had a sound that I liked, and I didn't have to go to a lot work to achieve it.  When I went to Logic Pro 9 a while back I saw that they had the Garageband setting of Live Performance, but it really didn't sound the same, so I ended up starting songs in Garageband, and then importing them into Logic Pro.
    I would really like to move on and be able to set up vocals from scratch, and put in different inserts and play around with different sounds to experiment with for vocals.  Does anyone have any advice on learning inserts to use, and perhaps a tutorial video they might suggest that could help educate me on this? 
    I don't even know if you should start with Compressor, then Chan EQ.  Perhaps someone might be able to steer me in the right direction.  Thanks so much.

    Klunde, you are missing out the most vital parts in your post. A vocal chain for recording is:
    You (your voice) - Microphone - Mic Pre - (perhaps hardware compressor, perhaps not) - (perhaps hardware eq, perhaps not) - then finally what you are recording into.
    The source is the single biggest influence on what you need to do in the mix regardless of what you are recording into. In our case here, it happens to be Logic. My own vocal chain changes depending on what i am aiming to achieve and this carries through to the mix. On one song I may use a blue face 1176 plugin if required and on another a CL1B etc. Both sound great but both sound different and there are a myriad of ways to use each one. The same goes for EQ's and reverbs. But what you need for all of this is a great source. Get this right and your mixes and decisions will be a lot easier and your desired results faster to achieve.
    So what is your source for your vocals?
    After this it is all down to taste. For example, a compressor going into an eq sounds different from an eq going into a compressor. Neither one is right or wrong. Experience and experimentation will tell you which you want to use for a particular song. Top mixer Chris Lord-Alge uses lots of compression on everything. Top mixer Bruce Swedien is notorious for using virtually none. Both consistently mix great records and both have spent a life time honing their art and skill set. Experiment but get your recording chain right which means choosing the right kit for your vocal and gain staging everything properly.

  • Recording sound with Mac Pro

    Now that I am well settled into my Mac Pro, which really is a super machine, I would like to use it to archive our high end analog record collection for The Anstendig Institute (www.anstendig.org, personal: www.anstendig.com) for the long run.
    Since we have ultimate record-playing equipment (cartridge, turntable and arm), we want to archive these analog recordings with the highest possible digital sound quality of the moment, so we won't have to redo everything when the next little advance comes out (that is what we have done for decades now: every time the record-playing equipment improved, we redid everything, and when analog RTR tape became unthinkable anymore, we redid that, etc. Record playing equipment will not outpace what we now have, so we want a digital format that is unquestionably beyond the argument about what resolution will be adequate, etc.).
    For just straight sound recording, without manipulation at all or editing at all, what would be the best ap/format/whatever to use with the Mac Pro at the moment. The ap does not have to be complex or multichannel, or etc. Just high sound quality and little more.
    Thanks,

    There are literally dozens of apps for both recording and editing sound. You will find them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    My wife uses a Griffin iMic (inexpensive hardware interface for connecting a mic or sound input via USB) together with their Final Vinyl software. We use it to interface between her MacBook and the audio output from a tape player to transfer the tapes to MP3 or AIFF files. No editing abilities. Just basic sound recording. Works quite well.
    There are many other apps as well. For both recording and editing you can't beat the shareware app Amadeus Pro.

  • Sync powerbook with mac pro

    hi guys and girls...
    i wonder if anyone can help me...
    i have a mac pro and a powerbook and would like to sync them as the mac pro is my desktop and remains in the office and i take the powerbook out with me on location, therefor they need to be in sync.
    my isync will not allow me to add the powerbook to the list of 'syncable' devices..
    does anyone have any ideas??
    thanks for your time,
    Pauli.

    iSync is for synchronising a Mac to mobile phones and PDAs. It does not do Mac-to-Mac syncing. Read about iSync here
    For that you'll need .Mac Sync or ChronoSync depending on what data you want to sync.
