Has anyone any idea why audio files recorded in pro tools LE (saved as 24bit .aifs) won't import into cubase and seem to be generic documents on my desktop? 'Get info' in the finder says it's a 'document' and not an aif.
I'm running cubase VST 32/5 on OS 9.2. (I know this is the OSX forum but I thought I might find an answer here.) The interesting thing is that Quicktime will open them and play them and Spark XL will also import and play them. Quicktime describes the file as a '24-bit integer, mono, 44.1kHz, 16 bits' file. Spark XL sees it as a 24 bit aif. I've got around the problem by batch processing the files in Spark but can't figure out why cubase doesn't import it as is (and the finder thinks it's only a 'document') but Quicktime and Spark will. I've tried rebuilding the desktop and even just renaming the file .aif but no changes Any ideas? |

I don't think "enforce PC-Mac compatibility" creates any extra overhead, It merely causes PT to use file formats that are compatible to both platforms.
Also for bjkiwi's existing sessions he can do "Save session copy in" + "enforce PC-Mac compatibility" this will create a copy of the entire session and copy in new versions of all the audio files, enforcing compatibility. Hope that helps. TD -------------------- |
