Soundtrack Pro reinstall??

[slippyjim]

Hi,

I have a Macbookpro A1260 Early 2008
Core 2 duo
3GB RAM
OS X 10.7.5

and needed to get to at least 10.8 to run izotopes, cut a long story short after many attempts the upgrade went bad, OSX is in a mess now keeps asking for keychains, safari always opens, its going really really slow, just a complete disaster really so I've decided to start with a clean install of OSX, but I currently have Soundtrack Pro v3 installed and I use it a lot but now I've just read its discontinued, is there anyway to get this software again? If not what has it been replaced by?

Thanks

There is no direct replacement to Soundtrack. If you save your current Soundtrack app you might be able to still run it on ML though. It's been discontinued a long, long time ago. Also when Lion came out.

What do you use it for specifically. May still be a replacement for your needs specifically
[doublepost=1516718985][/doublepost]Your closest Apple solution is probably Logic Pro, but unlike Soundtrack which was designed with Final Cut Studio, Logic is what Final Cut is to iMovie, but to GarageBand

I use it for easy mixing and taking the audio from video files.
I'm just sooooooooooooooooooo used to using it now after, what must be 8 years...... stuck in my ways

Yeah, no, you don't need Soundtrack for that. You can use GarageBand, Logic, Audacity and a plethora of other tools for that.

But if you really wish to keep on using Soundtrack, try it out on the new OS and see if it doesn't work at all. Might still function

I had heard Audacity mentioned.

I'll just have to suck it up and try something new if needed.

Cheers

have you tried Audio Hijack - they have a free trial

Buy an external hard drive. Install a suitably old version of OS X on it that is readily compatible with Soundtrack. Boot into that when you need to use Soundtrack. In general I find this approach the BEST overall way to keep legacy software working as fluidly as we remember rather than hoping it will keep working with updates.
