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.

  • Using MBOX 2 with Logic Pro 8.

    I have downloaded the core audio files, and I am stuck. I'm not really sure how to open it up in Logic, and control it. If anyone can give some advice, or post a tutorial that would be great. Also, the MBOX2 seems to only power on every other time I plug it in. Its very inconsistent to power up. Any explanations on that? Thanks for all the help.

    When I switched from PC/Pro Tools LE to iMac/Logic, I tried to work with my MBox2 but gave up. It's just not well suited for working with Logic. I bought the Duet for $500 and it works great and sounds much better than the MBox2. Better pres and converters. I'll upgrade to an Ensemble soon, but for $500, if all you need is two channels, the Duet is a great way to go. Also, latency is much better with Duet than with MBox, at least in my experience. I keep my buffer at 256 and can barely discern latency at all while getting all the plug-in power I need. If I need to truly knock out latency, I can still go down one or two more buffer sizes.

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hello chrispyw,
    If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
    If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Cannot use the Send to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Command

    I cannot use the Send to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Command, only the Multitrack and it's starting to really get on my nerves. It is unhiglighted. If I unlink the clip and select only half of the audio, the option re-appears. I have no idea what is wrong.

    As an audio file, you can only send one clip at a time. This is a feature, not a bug. See the book for more information.

    when i use windows 7 with macbook pro ,the fan work hardly,how do i fix it?

    Use InputRemapper
    This is one or only utility I know, there are I am sure one or two others.
    And the weakest link in running Windows on Mac: lack of thermal/SMC fan control to manage air flow and heat!

  • Using MBox 2 With GarageBand on MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.3

    Hi. This is my first Apple Support post. It was recommended that I post to this forum. I've been using my good old MBox 2 with GarageBand on my old MacBook without incident. Someone stole my laptop so I had to buy a new MacBook Pro the other day. On that system, GarageBand at first didn't recognize the MBox at all. A trip to the Genius Bar led to downloading a core audio driver. This enabled GarageBand to recognize the MBox 2 as an interface, and it records without much incident when the audio input/output settings remain on the DigiDesign MBox. HOWEVER, when I change the audio setting to the build-in output, all **** breaks loose. The selected signal bar starts registering a regular, loud, red-lining metalic beeping sound, and at this point the issue remains whether or not I change the audio setting back. They've tried several audio drivers at the Apple Store and nothing is working. Avid requires you to buy support codes, which is ridiculous, so any help on this forum would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!

    I have a m-audio fast track pro that I'm having a similar problem when using it with my new Macbook Air. I found changing it to 16 bit will work.
    I have a Apogee iMic that works fine so my guess is we will have to wait for Avid/M-Audio to update drivers.

  • No Video when using the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" Command

    Hello FCP Users,
    After reading and rereading the FCP and STP manuals and scouring the boards; I still can not figure out how to view my video clip while I'm editing/sweetening audio in STP. I have even used the DVD tutorial in an attempt to figure it out (all works fine and good with the tutorial example), but I'm stuck here the real world.
    I'm thinking their must be some preference setting somewhere in STP that I've missed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Best regards,
    Jeff
    From the Manual:
    Soundtrack Pro creates a new audio file project (with the file type .stap) for the clip. The clip can contain video and audio or contain only audio.
    In the Final Cut Pro Timeline, Control-click the clip, then choose “Send To >
    Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project” from the shortcut menu."
    Mac Pro, dual core, 3GHz, 8GB Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Rob,
    The audio consists of two separate audio tracks A1 is from a lav mic and A2 is from an on-camera mic.
    It was captured DV.
    If I rt click the video clip in the "video tl" the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" in the dialog box is grayed out/not available for selection, but the Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program is available to select.
    If I choose to Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program I get the following an error message: Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro.
    I've tried de-selecting the "linked selection" in the tl and rt click the audio clip in the "audio tl" and that allows me to "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" , but no video in the utility window of STP.
    If I select the "linked selection" in the tl and rt click the audio clip in the "audio tl" the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" in the dialog box is grayed out/not available for selection, but the Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program is available to select.
    If I choose to Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program I get the following an error message: Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro.
    It looked all so simple in the tutorial. I'm going on five hours of trying to find an answer to this issue any other suggestions before I slit my wrists? Thanks for your input.

  • 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. 

  • Using Video CAMERA with Connect pro

    We reciently purchased this product and were told that it
    would work with video cameras. We have a Panasonic that we are
    using with vista. this camera works with Premiere Pro, and there is
    nothing wrong with it. I know that Connect is not software based it
    is an Internet Application. How ever i know that the OS (vista)
    "sees" the camera because it works with other programs. Sorry i am
    connecting with IEEE not USB
    Has anyone out there in the world has success with getting a
    video camera using IEEE connection to work fully. Audio and Video
    coming through the camera?
    Is anyon aware of drivers for either the camera or the IEEE?
    And if the Connect product does not support this... WTF?
    thanks

    Connect does work with IEEE1394 Firewire Cams, just not with
    all Firewire Cams. (USB cams also are not all working).
    I would suggest to first try out the cam from different
    machines with different OSs (Vista might well be the sole issue
    here), also try if you can get an ordinary USB cam to work.
    If all fails, you can workaround that using a virtual camera
    driver, piping the firewire cam into the virtual cam and in Connect
    you can load the virtual cam with the image of the Firewire cam.
    Not a nice way round, but it would work.
    If you google for "Adobe Connect camera compatibility matrix"
    you get a "slightly" outdated list of supported cameras.

  • Using Mackie Control with Logic Pro 7 and Yamaha O1X

    I currently own a Yamaha O1x which is a mixer/control surface/audio interface that I use with Logic Pro 7. I am planning on selling the O1X and replacing it with the Mackie Control Universal as my DAW controller and using the Apogee Ensemble as my audio interface. I already have purchased the Mackie Control Universal and would like to begin using it instead of the O1X as my DAW controller, but while I am waiting for the Apogee Ensemble to be released I still need the audio interface capabilties of the O1X. The O1X uses Yamaha's MLAN protocol to connect to the G5. MLAN is a firewire interface that can transmit both audio and midi. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work-around solution so that I can use my Mackie Control Universal (which connects via midi cable) and only use the audio capability but not the control surface of the O1X via the firewire connection? I haven't been able to figure my way through this one and see if it is possible. I have already tried having them both hooked up at the same time, and the Mackie Control seemed to work fine but the audio on the O1X didn't seem to be connecting and functioning properly. I appreciate any help as I am anxious to use my Mackie Control.
    Thank you!

    You need to connect only the Audio and not the MIDI between your 01x and Mac. You can achieve this in mLan Graphic Patchbay-connect the cables between the Nodes in Audio part of a Graphic Patchbay, connect the Wordclock but do not make any MIDI connections. this way it should work as you want. the other way is to Make your regular connection from mLan Autoconnector and disable the MIDI ports that are dedicated to control the DAW by 01x by some freeware utility (01x uses port 1 for that...)
    As this is quite 01x specific, please visit 01xray.com/forums where you will find more help, or send me PM.
    As Apogee enssemble is expected to have great features, I would rather recommend the i88x instead of Enssemble (i88x has two Mic preamps-the best Yamaha produces (derived from Dm2000)VERY good converters (mLan is known for low jitter and it was tested with Rosseta by a mate from 01x forum who said (he tested it in store with other people) that i88x sounded better-may believe it or not...).The mLan Graphis Patchbay application allows you to patch connections between mLan devices and computer -very flexible. 01x already does almost the same as Mackie control and it is for almost the same price.... But maybe you are pi_ssed of waiting for new mLan drivers? I am just speculating....

  • Using FCP 7 with Macbook Pro Retina Display?

    Hi there
    I am one of the many editor that won't be moving to FCPX and sticking with FCP 7 for the time being.
    My question is has anyone used FCP 7 with the new Retina Macbook Pros ?
    I'm basically looking to see it FCP 7 is useable on the retina display to help me to decide to buy one or not....My current Macbook Pro is nearly 4 years old and crying for an update but there a few concerns with the new model
    1. Screen resolution is actually lower running FCP 7 and other software that isn't optimised for retina display?
    2. No Firewire ports
    3. No audio input
    Any help really appreciated

    FCP 7 is no longer in apples update lists so there is a chance that it has issues with the newer hardware (thunderbolt). I would guess there must be a firewire 800 PCIe card that could be used via a thunderbolt doc but how fcp is going to behave with it remains to be seen. Also FCP should not be able to take advantage of the retina display for the reason above.
    Of course someone with such a macbook pro and fcp could always jump in this thread and clarify matters for all.
    Good luck
