Slimtoad Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I'm just starting learning to use it. It seems pretty powerful, but a lot of things can be done just as well in GarageBand as in Soundtrack. Has anyone here at least played around with it to know if it's a very good music making program?

Yoozer Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 If my guess is correct, this looks like it's specifically geared towards synchronizing audio and video. The loops are a nice bonus and simply meant as a stock library of sorts. For music production I'd rather spend the money on Logic Express or Reason, really.

analoq Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 admittedly i've only tinkered with SoundTrack Pro for a couple minutes at my local Apple Store. but the name itself is a giveaway for what it's for.. soundtracks.. not just fitting and timestretching the underscoring but adding signal processing to dialog and inserting sound effects. from what i have seen there is a lot of overlap, as it's basically a multitrack non-linear audio editing with all of Logic's effects, a bunch of loops/cues and an excellent workflow. if it works really well for you i guess that's that.. but you are basically using the wrong tool for the job. stick with GarageBand, though maybe invest in some 3rd party plugins. cheers.

Arcana Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Isn't Soundtrack Pro included with Logic Pro? Slightly OT. If you're looking for Apple software for music, check below. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/ While many of the top sequencers will be listed below (Reason, Logic, Cubase), you can also come across many small, useful tools that might even be free.

tgfoo Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 No, Soundtrack Pro is included with Final Cut Studio. Pretty much everything you can do in Soundtrack you can do in Logic. As analoq said, it's not really for music composition (unless you solely use loops), it's more for editing audio for video and sound design. It does come with a lot of the audio plug ins that are included with logic. Ultimately though, it's meant to be used with video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I have Sound Track Pro because it came with Final Cut. Don't use it. If you know anythign about music, get Logic Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
