You may be sharing files with someone using a different DAW, or you may want to simplify your session if you’re working with a lot of tracks. This process is also known as bouncing individual stems. Powerbook 5,8 - LP7.1.1 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4, 1.There are a number of reasons why you will want to bounce (export) individual tracks from your session in Pro Tools. There is a very useful feature in the Audio window called "optimise file" which if you get in the habit of using, slices off any unwanted offcuts of audio and general makes them all line up.Īll these kinds of errors throw out the timing by time it gets to phoenix. Two classic mistakes: i) chop up a region, drag it to bar one, forgetting it was a virtual edit and not turning region to new audio file - OR - when your record settings do not start from 0 but have a bar intro and there is a piece of invisible audio up front before bar 1. In sample edit you can tell this from the position of the anchors. I made the mistake of burning an entire album ( with multiple audio files in each track) to DVD and posting it across the pond for mixing, before realising that in fact all my files did not start at bar 1 or zero and there were bits of audio ( invisible) hiding before bar one. GOOD LUCK, may the hair on your head not fall off after repeated pulling.īy way adding a modest tuppence worth to NoEq's magistral standing instruction for export to PRO Tools, the inexperienced exporter ( ie me) needs to check that the audio files in the arrange window really do start at zero or bar one. If you want to continue to try to use AAF or OMF or XML export options: If the PT system has the same plugins as your Logic song, Instantiate the plugins in their correct tracks(you did note this in your TXT file,yes?) and Import all your plugin settings for plugins that are also in PT that you wish to keep using. Better yet, use PTs "Spot" function, and you can enter the EXACT SMPTE or BAR start time for the audio files.Ĩ. Place them into the session tracks, ALL TOGETHER at the same time, and line them up. Import all your audio files to this new session.ħ. Go to ProTools system and copy ALL audio files to their local audio hard drive,along with your TXT file and any plugin settings files as well.ĥ.Open a NEW ProTools session, and set the bit and sample rate, the tempo, and make as many new tracks as you'll need.Ħ. If possible, copy all plugin settings for each plugin you want to keep using in PT(as long as they have them), in their native settings format (Waves and Nomad Factory have their own, which you can copy to ProTools, and will show up in the plugin settings menu there, very nifty feature,saves a LOT of time)Ĥ. SMPTE CODE rate and start time (if needed) (important!!!)Īll other external gear info (settings) mixer settings,etc. Please include a TXT file which includes at least this info: Burn all the exported audio files onto a CD / DVD as DATA. Choose where to save all these files, like in a convenient folder labelled "for ProTools"ģ. Make sure they start at the same point, as this is important for step X later on.Ģ. Export ALL tracks as audio files, all starting at the same point. The way I have always exportes from logic to Pro Tools is as follows:ġ. "Invalid audio file format for AAF export encountered" "NickChorusVox.aiff" - what kind of file is this? The next 2 error messages that came up when I hit "OK" were. "Path reference number specifies non existent access path I tried the entire song again, this time saving it as wav instead of aif only to encounter the same problem! "All allocation blocks on the volume are full" Thought I'd cracked it until the 38th track of 43 was copying and a pop up came up stating, First, the apple loops in the song would not be exportable, fixed that, then I exported all tracks so that they all start at 0, then I attempted to export song as AAF. I have struggled all week trying to figure it out. Hi everyone, I am attempting to save a song as an AAF so that I can send it to a mixer who uses Pro Tools HD XL.
