Mac to PC Audio Files

[thomas_delonge]

I recently recorded some audio on a Mac G5 Running Logic 6.4 then tranferred to recorded the audio recorded to a PC and cannot get the audio files to play in any program.

 

The tracks have no file extension and still wont play if i change them to .wav or .aif files which they should be. Every program says the files are corrupt but i klnow theyre not.

 

I didnt bounce the audio in logic i just copied the audio tracks.

 

Anyone know of a way to get these files to play?

 

Thanks

Are you sure the extensions are correct? I mean, if the files are SDII, adding .wav or .aif wouldn't help Windows figure it out.

 

First thing would be to figure out what type of PCM the files are: .wav, .aif, or .sdii? Then add the right extension and see if that works.

 

I've never had a problem opening a mac audio recording onto a PC, so it should work: don't give up!

i dont know what the file extensions are suppose to be. when i record on logic 5.5 on a pc it saves the audio as wav. but i thought on a mac it would be .aif.

 

i tried .sdii and it didnt work.

 

also when i copied the files over i ended up with 2 files on the pc....

 

._bass#07 - 43kb

 

and the larger

 

bass#07 - 10mb

Have you tried .sd2?

 

Also, post in the PC forum, maybe some users over there would know?

If I understand this correctly, you're not sure what format it's saving the files as on the Mac. It may be that I've misunderstood this but if not:

 

Select the file in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.

Click Name & Extension and deselect the "Hide extension" checkbox.

 

Please ignore if I've misconstrued.
