Soundtrack Pro needs some work
What kind of audio program doesn't recognize
external audio hardware?
Soundtrack Pro is pretty much a rip-off of Adobe
Audition, including its single-track edit/multi-track record interface. One
benefit would be its integration with Final Cut Pro, if there was any
integration with FCP. I'm doing a soundtrack for a video project right now and
I'd like to just product some tracks in Soundtrack Pro's multitrack UI and them
bring them directly back into FCP, but of course that is impossible in a direct
way (like opening a FCP project in Soundtrack Pro). In the end, I had to export
the video out of FCP and import it into Soundtrack Pro. Then I found my next
problem, Soundtrack Pro doesn't recognize my Firewire Audio interface, it just
recognizes the built-in audio interfaces. That is just ridiculous. Even FCP
recognizes my Firewire interface. Finally, I just gave up and imported the video
file into a Cubase project. I'll have to generate full-length stem mixes I guess
and import them manually back into FCP, which will give me about the same level
of integration that I was gonna get from Soundtrack Pro anyway, I
guess.
