Soundtrack Pro -> FCP hangs
I right-click on a file (Kona LHe NTSC 8 bit) in the Browser, choose Go to Editor, manipulate the audio with Soundtrack Pro, choose File/Save, and return to FCP.
FCP displays the colorful little spinning circle, and … nothing happens. When I reopen FCP, the altered audio plays just fine in FCP.
I have had to restart twice in a row with this same pattern.
What am I doing wrong here?

Try clicking on the desktop before going back to FCP. If that doesn’t work, try quitting Soundtrack Pro first. I”m guessing its and issue where the Kona card is being used by Soundtrack Pro and is not being released for FCP to use when you switch back.
Also, I suggest you search/post on the Cow’s AJA Kona forum because its likely someone else is having a similar issue and you might find a more detailed solution.

[Tony!] “Try clicking on the desktop before going back to FCP”
Thanks for the suggestion, but as soon as I save the clip in STP, I’m returned to FCP, and the eternally spinning wheel.
I’ve been trying this many ways now. Often STP gives me an immediate error message as it opens:
“Failure occurred when preparing the device (null).” And sometimes that message does not appear, although I am taking the exact same steps.In FCP, I’ve tried “open in editor” and “send audio file as project,” same results.
I posted in the AJA Kona forum, but no answers there. I’m surprised that I haven’t heard from somebody in FCP with an LHe card who’s using STP successfully. The round-tripping for sophisticated audio fixes is a pretty great idea, so I am assuming that other people are doing this with no problems.
