Critic Reviews

Apple Soundtrack Pro

soundonsound.com

Apple Soundtrack Pro impresses with its sophisticated audio editing and mixing capabilities, making it a solid choice for video professionals seeking to enhance soundtracks with precision. Its intuitive interface, powerful waveform editor, and integration with Logic's effects provide a comprehensive toolkit for audio post-production. However, it lacks MIDI support and is limited to single-track recording, which might deter some musicians. Despite these limitations, its strengths in audio-for-picture workflows and affordability make it a valuable asset for film and video editors.

Macworld Review: Soundtrack Pro Audio Editor - CDM Create Digital Music

cdm.link

Apple Soundtrack Pro offers a streamlined audio editing experience, effectively replacing BIAS Peak for day-to-day tasks despite lacking multitrack and MIDI capabilities. While some users criticize its depth compared to Logic or Pro Tools, these limitations make it an ideal complementary tool for existing software. Key features like action layers, automation, and scripting enhance its appeal. However, file exchange issues with Final Cut Pro could use better documentation and flexibility from Apple. Overall, it's a valuable addition for those seeking efficiency in audio editing.

This was the first track I 'officially' recorded as part of my CCCL project (aka: Chris Carter's Chemistry Lessons). It was made in 2007 with a Gameboy ASP running a couple of Nanoloop sequences: into a Boss PQ-4 parametric EQ, mono out: into a Boss PN-2 Panner (square-wave pan setting), stereo out: into a Boss RV-5 reverb (Gate setting), stereo out > into a Boss DD-6 digital delay (modified), stereo out: into a Mac G5 recording (via MOTU 828 mkII audio interface) into Apple Soundtrack Pro. All realtime tweakery (mostly the PQ-4 + DD-6) and no post-pro no editing.
