How do I transpose Apple Soundtrack Pro multitrack files into Audition format?

May 21, 2012 7:46 AM

I've just hopped onto the creative cloud and now need to work on files created in Soundtrack Pro. The native SP format for multitrack files is proprietary. Can Audition parse these files?

    Never used Soundtrack Pro but doesn't it have the ability to export to an embedded OMF?

    If so then it will convert the audio to either wav or more likely aif and then you can open the omf (and audio) in CS5.5/6.

     

    Just a thought...

    Soundtrack Pro will only export AAF, I believe. 

     

    Fletcher: currently Audition has no means to directly import a Soundtrack Pro multitrack session.

    While this doesn't solve your problem, since you're used to STP, check this out:

    The information is a year out of date as it was written for CS5.5, so if you want to do it in CS6, use "5.0" in the folder/file paths instead of "4.0"

     

    Let us know how Audition is fitting into your workflow compared to STP.

    Audition cannot parse the soundtrack file. but.... I've also been trying to figure out how to bring a multi-track Soundtrack Pro project into Audition and at this point, there are two options:

    OPTION 1

    - Open the multi-track Soundtrack project.

    - Export as AAF

    - Import AAF into Premiere.

    - Export OMF

    - Import OMF in Audition.

    I think there may be an issue with projects with more then 2 tracks... (basically defeating the whole purpose). The project looking correct but the audio files are not linked properly.

     

    OPTION 2

    - Open the multi-track Soundtrack project.

    - Export as aiff or wav. Select "After Export: send files to Final Cut pro sequence"

    - FCP opens and asks to be saved. Save it.

    - Export FCP project as an XML File. (Apple XML interchange Format, version 4)

    - open Audition and import XML.

    Option 2 keeps the projects track structure intact. But it does 'bake' each track together.

    If you can get me the AAF I can probably convert it to an sesx file for you.

     

    Contact me via the AATranslator web site
