Uninstalling Soundtrack Pro and Loops

With the recent purchase of a MacBook Pro I also acquired the Final Cut Studio HD. I have run out of space on my local hard drive and in the process of cleaning it off and moving programs and files to an external I am looking to delete Soundtrack Pro and all of the Loops that come with that program.
What I am wondering is the best and safest way to remove these files without affecting the rest of the Final Cut Suite.
So if someone can clue me in on the best way to uninstall Soundtrack Pro, Soundtrack Loops, Motion and any program with Final Cut HD without affecting the others I would really appreciate it.
In a related question are the bundled software programs such as iPhoto and GarageBand located on any discs that come with the computer or would uninstalling them leave me without the option to reinstall them at a later date?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo/2 GB SDRAM

iPhoto and GarageBand are on the Install discs.
Get the external drive and move your Final Cut files (not the app) there.
I imagine it uses lots and lots of space when editing. so make sure you clear out everything after you finish a project.

  • 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?

  • How to uninstall Soundtrack Pro

    Hi,
    I've upgraded to Logic Studio 2 and I only use Logic Pro. All has been fine but my disk is near to be full, so I want to recover some space uninstalling Soundtrack Pro ( v3.0 ) and the contents associated with it.
    I have not found any reference to a customized uninstall in the documentation from Apple. Is there any 'official' procedure to uninstall only Soundtrack Pro ?? Or delete all apps to do a clean install ??
    Regards,
    Joan

    The app for STP3 is not very large. It is in Applications folder.
    Other content like Apple Loops and sound beds are used by Logic too. You can find these here -

  • 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.

  • Soundtrack Pro and Compressor greyed out on installation

    For some reason the option to install Soundtrack Pro and Compressor are greyed out when performing installation of Logic Stdio.
    I had installed Logic Studio previously but ran out of disk space and so uninstalled the program, upgraded my hard drive and I'm now at the point of reinstallation - but can't install those two programs.
    Here's a screen shot of what I get AFTER installing what I can:
    http://www.btinternet.com/~wack/screen.jpg
    Also, why do some of the programs have 'upgrade' under Action?
    Thanks.

    I tried Final Cut Remover, and still had the same problem. I am in the midst of using Pacifist and it seems to be working. Apparently Pacifist copies the compressed files to to your hard drive then extracts and installs the programs. It appears to be working, but I will let you know whenever it finishes if indeed it does the job...
    It is free to try and $20 for a donation. It might be a bargain considering the time it will save me...

  • Does Logic Pro X include replacement functionality for Compressor, Soundtrack Pro and Waveburner from Logic Studio 9?

    Does Logic Pro X include replacement functionality for Compressor, Soundtrack Pro and Waveburner from Logic Studio 9?

    No..  You can buy the Compressor (along with Mainstage) via the App Store as a separate download but STP and Waveburner are discontinued products. Some of STP's functionality can now be found in Final Cut Pro X...
    Note: Mainstage, Compressor, Waveburner and STP were part of the full version of Logic Studio 2.0 (which also included Logic Pro 9 ) and sold for $999 compared to Logic Pro X which retails at $200...
    The Apple loops/Jam packs that came as part of Logic Studio 2.0 now come free with Logic Pro X (and did so with the Appe store version of Logic Pro 9) .. as part of the additional downlaod

  • New Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro Updates...

    There's new updates for Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro on Software Update.
    They seem to have fixed the problem I was having with one of my giant old projects. I used to have to open one of the audio projects before my multitrack project would open, but now it opens just fine. So far so good!

    Hi Collings,
    Looks like there are two threads about the recent FCP & STP updates, so I'm posting my findings here, too.
    I just found another thing that appears to be fixed in STP 1.0.2:
    Batch normalize is working:
    I have a bunch of aif files that I want to normalize. I opened one in the waveform editor, applied process->normalize (level=0dB), then selected File->Save as Applescript--this creates an Applescript droplet. Then I can then grab a whole bunch of audio files and drop them all onto this droplet and they all get normalized correctly. This is a huge timesaver for me. Before this update, using this approach to batch-normalize a set of files seemed to deliver unpredictable results, but I just ran a whole set of files through, and they all played back with a peak level of 0dB (and no clipping).
    Here are the other things that I've noticed so far with STP 1.0.2:
    Automation:
    -In STP 1.0.1, Automation was not applied correctly on project sample rates that were not supported by the hardware (e.g. play a 96K project on a laptop built-in 48K audio interface and the automation was late by 2X) -- this is fixed!!! YAY!
    -STP 1.0.1 did not handle long automation ramps across long periods of silence (it would sometimes cause a glitch at the start of the clip right after the automation ramp--there is even a support article about this)--it seems like they fixed this one, too.
    Sample rate switching:
    -I see an option in general preferences to allow me to disable the "Switch hardware sample rate to match document", and with this disabled, I no longer get audible clicks from my audio interface when I switch tabs. Plus, switching tabs seems faster to me.
    Realtime effects and automation in audio file projects:
    -They've added a warning to inform folks about the need to bounce realtime effects and automation to an action--if you are in an audio file project with realtime effects that have not been bounced to an action and you try to save, you get a warning message.
    Has anyone else noticed any other fixes or changes in this update?

  • Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Server....can you check-in/check-out?

    Hello!
    Just curious how the workflow is with Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Server. We haven't used Soundtrack Pro, but have been thinking about it for Surround Sound projects.

    You can check in anything into FCSvr, any type of project file or media file. Unlike checking in/out a Final Cut Pro project, with any other application, you'll need to check out the project file for that app, and manually check out all the media associated with it. Many folks will simply set up the STP, or Motion, or InDesign, or Illustrator project and it's associated media all into the same folder on their workstation. Then check in/out that folder as a "bundled asset". This makes a zip file in FCSvr that holds all of those needed files together. When you check it out, it's unzipped and places on your local workstation. When you check back in, FCSvr re-zips it and replaces the original on it's RAID storage drive.

  • 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.

  • Soundtrack Pro and Audio already altered in Final Cut

    I'm just getting my feet wet with Soundtrack Pro. I have a project that was edited in Final Cut Pro, including keyframes to adjust audio levels in specific places in the audio tracks. When the project is sent to Soundtrack Pro, the changes that were made in Final Cut Pro seem to be ignored. Is there something I'm doing wrong here, or are audio alterations made in Final Cut Pro not passed on to Soundtrack Pro? I'm using Soundtrack Pro version 2.0.2 and Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5.

    Hi Lorenzo,
    I haven't encountered this problem, however it sounds to me as though the waveform editor is sensing that the incoming signal is too hot & is automatically pulling down the gain to compensate and overcompensating to the point where the audio is barely intelligible.
    What I would suggest you try is:
    Select All Command (Apple) A then
    Shift Command L. This gives you a window that allows you to boost the level. As the signal is so low, try 100%. If the signal is still too low do the same again. The Adjust Amplitude Filters will appear in the Actions List to the left of the Waveform. This is a nondestructive process & each Adjust Amplitude can be toggled on/off by unchecking it so that you can do a before & after comparison.
    All the best

  • Something has gone wrong inside my Soundtrack Pro and I cannot figure it out.

    So I can record with any other program on my Mac Pro, including the voiceover inside FCP, but cannot get a clean recording from Soundtrack Pro.
    Everything sounds like this - https://rapidshare.com/files/4143174674/Track%201%20Recording%20232.aif
    I thought it might have something to do with sample rates, but didn't notice anyhting.
    I was using a Shure SM89 shotgun mic recording some family members commentating on old family film. I was going into a Behringer 1202 mixer, and then out into my Mac Pro from the line-in. I assume I cannot fix these recording, and it was my fualt as I had my headphones pluged into my mixer and not into the computer.
    Now anything I record in Soundtrack Pro sounds like this, although it records fine in other programs.
    Any suggestions?

    It is an analog mixer, and I have the main outs going to RCAs and then those paired down into a stereo mini jack going into my Mac Pro.
    I actually have not messed with any setting in the program in a year or so, and it was working fine for that time. I recently updated to OSX 10.6 from 10.5, and I am wondering if that may have something to do with it?
    Like I said this was working fine for the past year or so, and after that update I can no longer record anything usable in Soundtrack pro, all the audio sounds like the sample I provided.
    That being said, I can open FCP7 and use the voiceover tool to record audio with the exact same set-up and it works perfectly fine, so for the meantime that is what I have been doing, and worst case scenario my MacBook Pro also and The FCP Studio installed on it, and I could always record to Soundtrack Pro through that.

  • Difference between Soundtrack Pro and the version that came with FCE 3.5

    Would like to know what the important differences are between Soundtrack Pro 2 and v1.5 that shipped with Final Cut Express 1.5.

    I would say it depends on what (if anything) you need to do when viewing the PDF files in one of those 3 applications.
    Acrobat Pro: Provides useful tools in examining the document as well as making some basic corrections. These tools include Output Preview (color warnings, ink viewing, object inspector) and Preflight.
    Preview: Has some limitations when viewing documents. Most notably, overprinting cannot be simulated but there may be others. Some transparency blending modes are displayed quite as expected either.
    Reader: Lighter weight than Acrobat Pro, but I am not aware of any viewing limitations as compared with Acrobat Pro (and it does support simulating overprinting in viewing)

  • Soundtrack Pro preview loops and non-loops are cut-off

    I need help with this issue.
    When I am going through the loop library/libraries, I click in a loop and it used to preview without an error, I am not sure when this happen, but now if I click in any audio clip from the loops and mixes libraries (about 7500+) clips, .aif and .caf audio files, in the library, all I get is half a second if not any preview.
    When I open the clip, and press play, it seems to be choppy as well. it plays through but skips or pauses for a fraction of a second, but enough to know that it is not playing flawlessly.
    I am not sure if this happen after installing the last Pro update or the 10.5.4 update.
    I also have FCP and Motion, those applications seem to not have any issues.
    Is there a way to reset the whole STP?
    I am not sure all locations where the preferences are, I tried deleting all the libraries, and adding them later, that didn't work. I deleted the one preferences in my user preference folder, but that didn't do anything either.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You may need to rebuild the loops index.
    Open up Logic and display the Loops Browser
    Open up FInder and locate the folder containing the loops as you describe
    Drag the loops folders onto the Loops Browser
    That will rebuild the index and all should be well.

  • Transfering fcp 5 multiple audio tracks to soundtrack pro/ and 3 other ????

    1. i wonder how to import multiple tracks from fcp 5 to stp and maintain these tracks in the multitrack format, not mixed down to two tracks.
    2. i can't open a multitrack stp project i created in fce hd, into stp with fcp 5. i get the message, can't fine file??? when i click the file from the scratch drive, i also get the message that i need the apg ATI 9800 graphic card i used in my g4 with final cut express hd, but now i updated to g56 mac duel pro. do i have to att the ati card to my g5? and use this card instead of the g5 graphic card?
    or can i use both the ati card with the gr graphic card, since i think that two graphic cards can be added to the g5?
    3. i have a waveform file in stp that was made with final cut express hd, now i cant convert it to multi track, and i want to keep it since i filtered out background noise. how can i export it to fip 5 and reimport in into stp?
    4. im a little bit confused about the mixer in fcp vs the mixer in stp. which is better to even out the sound from one sequence to another. also, to mix for tv sound, ( - 12 db), how do i do that with accuracy since the waveform varies... and jumps around from say - 15 db to -8 db? how does one find the average with consistancies, if possible.
    i new to all this and would appreciate any help. thanks for any help any one can give me. ron hansing.

    First up, learning STP is a great thing to do. You'll handle audio much better with it. Apple Pro Training Series, SoundTack Pro, by Mary Plummer, is the best way to learn it.
    Back to your question. I did a basic tutorial that may help. It won't be out until December, but if you email me off board I'll send you an advanced copy of it. Shows how the work flow for editing multitrack sound from FCP into STP works. A bit to get into here, but it'll be a great start for you.

  • Uninstall quicktime pro and re-install

    I have a problem with FCP quitting "unexpectedly" every time I try to export a H264 file, regardless of the original timeline codec.
    I downloaded a program which analyzes the error logs and IT thinks it is QuickTime that is causing the "quits"
    So my goal here is to remove quicktime and re-install.
    Is there a way to do this short of reinstalling FCP completely?

    Quicktime is not likely to be the problem, regardless of your IT wonks' opinions.
    But if you're dead set on the attempt, try google for starters. This is hopelessly out of date but might help:

    Another possible culprit of your Final Cut Pro problems could be an issue with QuickTime, which is a major component to the workings of Final Cut Pro. One problem could stem from a bad installation (update) of QuickTime. Another reason to re-install QuickTime is if the current version is not compatible with the version of Final Cut Pro you are running and if you need to install an earlier version of QuickTime. The instructions next cover both scenarios.
    1. Before installing the same (or older) version of QuickTime on your computer, you will want to delete certain receipt files first. This Apple article covers which files to delete: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
    2. Then navigate to your user Home directory > Library > Preferences.
    3. Delete these QuickTime preference files:
    com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
    QuickTime Preferences
    4. Repair permissions on your main hard drive.
    5. Install QuickTime from Software Update or by downloading it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html . For an older version of QuickTime, go to http://www.apple.com/support/ and do a search for the particular version you are looking for.
    6. After the install and subsequent computer restart, repair permissions again.
