Hey, Jason

I just read your post about your preference for PRO TOOLS Free Version, so I went and downloaded a copy (along with all the other downloads that come with it).

I'm on a MAC G4 and just this week I've started looking for a good editing program. PRO TOOLS Free Version looks like the best thing I've seen so far, but I'm having trouble opening a song file to work with.

My song files are AIFF ... I've looked through the manual, but I can't seem to figure out how to import my AIFF files ... can you help me out? What am I not doing right?

THANKS.

Never mind ... I just figured out that I have to boot my Mac in OS 9 in order for me to convert my AIFF files.

I'm in OS X and usually OS 9 programs just open in Classic mode ... but when it comes to converting sound files (like this, or when making mp3s) I have to change my Start Up disc to OS 9.

actually... you don't want to just double click an .aiff file and have protools free open it... first... try starting a new session and then goto menus at top to file>import audio to track and then select the .aiff file and it will convert into SDII format (depending on files settings but this is default)

also note... classic mode is not suitable for running most music apps... if its OS9 native music app... boot to OS9 to use the app cool.gif
