Great tutorial!

I needed to sweeten a series of training videos (especially air conditioning noise) and my options were to read the manual (on my computer since it's only a PDF) or spend 4 hours listening to Martin . . . I wisely chose to buy the tutorial.

It addressed my particular issue, and it made a huge difference in the final audio quality of the programs.

It's good enough that I will watch it again -- now that I've taken Soundtrack out for a rigorous spin -- and learn more the second time.

Highyly recommended!

I completely agree with Micheil Reid's comment (Aug31,08).

There is no mention of using STP with video!

After looking through the content list of the tutorial I thought the sections would be related to video stuff but there seems to be an emphasis on music. Martin even calls the dialogue in a video clip, at one point , "vocals".

It seems to me this tutorial is incomplete - also picked up by Micheil Reid. There is a few mentions of things that will be covered "later in the tutorial" and they are not.

I'm a heavy Logic user and I know all about apple loops and music! I took this tutorial to understand how STP works with audio from video, to get my head around the workflows and best practices when mixing/fixing sound from a FCP project. I feel somewhat let down.

I'm not a newbie in the field of sound and music and perhaps I'm being too hard on some tutorials that are a bit (dare I say it) "below me", but its back to the STP manual for me.

I would like to congratulate Mr. Sitter for an excellent video tutorial in keeping with the level of an excellent teaching guide. I tried out this tutorial based primarily after using and adapting the Soundtrack Pro 2 book in the Apple Pro Training Series for the classroom, in hopes that it too would be beneficial, and it is. Thanks for making an excellent tutorial as well as authoring the book in the pro series. Very nice!

Very good! Especially since Martin Sitter does not only explain the program - but also has lots of interesting sidenotes about Electronic music, audio data in general and more.
The only thing that is not being explained thoroughly is the usage of STP for video dubbing, which is not relevant for me but might be for Final Cut Pro-Users.

Description

It was once famously said that Soundtrack Pro is the only Final Cut Studio application that will truely bring a smile to a grown man's face (yes, women like it too!). The reason for this is simple - soundtrack pro makes it easy to realize your musical vision. Using nothing but the gigabytes of apple loops, effects, and musical beds that come with Soundtrack Pro, you can quickly make songs that would sound just as good on the radio as they do in your video projects.

But Soundtrack Pro 2 is more than just a fun audio tool - it's a full featured audio post production application that has been created from the ground-up to help video editors create, clean, and master great soundtracks for their video productions. In this tutorial series, you will learn how to integrate Soundtrack Pro 2 into your Final Cut Pro workflow to create perfect audio, every time.

Important topics covered include removing noise from audio recorded on a camcorder, restorning poorly recorded audio. You'll also learn how to record, mix, and edit audio to make dynamic and engaging soundtracks for your video productions. Whether you're a video producer looking to make your productions sound great, or an audio engineer moving into the professional post production market, this tutorial series gives you the tools you need to make your musical vision a reality.
