You can also work synchronized to picture in GarageBand, but you need to export the
scene you want to use as a QuickTime movie first. Dragging a QuickTime movie into a
GarageBand project window adds the audio and video to the project so you can arrange
your loops in time to the picture. When you finish, you can use the Hide Movie Track
command to disable the video, and then you can use the Export Song to Disk command
to export an audio file that you can edit back into your original Final Cut Pro sequence.
(Make sure to turn off Compress in the dialog that appears when you choose the Export
Song to Disk command.)
Using Logic Studio
Logic Studio (which also includes Soundtrack Pro) is a suite of applications from Apple
dedicated to high-end music production. Although Logic Studio is an extremely powerful
music production tool and may be more than you need for the purpose of simple temp
track creation, it’s noteworthy because of its enormous library of loops, all of which are
compatible with Soundtrack Pro and GarageBand.
Note: Logic Pro also has the ability to send audio to Soundtrack Pro, which is described
in “Make Sure You Have the Right Setup for Mixing.”
Using a Third-Party Audio Application
There are a wide variety of loop- and algorithm-based music creation tools for video. In
general, most of these tools can export either AIFF or WAVE files that you can import into
Final Cut Pro for use in your edited sequence.
