camillo jr Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) I have a potential client who's got a bunch of Protools sessions. She worked in a Logic studio once before and apparently it was a nightmare because there were tons of un-comped regions, multiple takes and so on transferred from the Ptools sessions and it was horrible trying to make sense of it all. I told her that ideally, all the comping would be done before any transfers to a different DAW and then the results exported as a bunch of 24 bit files all lined up to the same start. She's thinking about that but wants to keep some flexibility for future mixing (she travels all over the place recording here and there) and she may mix here or just do some tracking. I've also suggested that she bounce a few stems instead and that we could work with that. What I'm wondering is if all these ProTools files could be exported en masse as broadcast wav files? IOW, if a file starts on bar 10 and ends on bar 15, would it land on bar 10 when I dropped it into Logic, assuming the same tempo? Can Broadcast Wave files do that? Any advice appreciated.

camillo jr Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks Jordito, that's exactly the info I need. On a separate but related note, how did you find this article? I tend to use Google a lot to search this forum but I've not entirely given up on LPH's search function. An example of one of my search strings: Logic AND ProTools AND broadcast wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hey, no problem. I use this formula: site:logicprohelp.com followed by the keywords. For example: site:logicprohelp.com pro tools broadcast wave camillo jr jordito Gives this thread as the only result. I tested what's commented in that thread and got weird results. First the "The stored time stamp of 1 region(s) exceeds the limit of this project." error, and then after adjusting the sync settings I didn't get an error but the region ended up in some weird location. I should say that the file came from Reaper and not Pro Tools, but maybe you should also test it with a single file coming from Pro Tools, just in case....could alsoi just be Reaper screwing the timestamp...who knows.

camillo jr Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Fantastic! I just tried this one: site:logicprohelp.com pro tools broadcast wave And the thread you directed me to was one of the first six to appear. Thanks for the new "tools".

Be sure to note my comments in that thread about how these errors occur. Project timecode settings across all DAWs have to match exactly.

Jordi Torres Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, they matched...including frame rates. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
