Pro-Tools tracks into DP?

Hola!

I'm new to DP (4.6.1) and I was wondering if there is a way (hopefully a simple one) to move tracks from a Pro-Tools session to DP? The reason I need to do this is I'd like to mix on my Mac using DP, instead of paying the Pro-Tools person to mix.

The Pro-Tools session is a live multi-track band session with various lead/backing over-dubs added after.

No mixing has been done yet, so, no fade/pan moves in the session.

I've been reading about OMF transfers, but haven't gotten any consistent info on this.

Anyone have any experience doing this?


Danke,

Steve

    2 ways:

    1) bounce all of your audio tracks starting from the same point (or use the duplicate AS plug-in to do fater than real time if you don't want to capture any realtime effects)
    Then import the tracks.

    2) OMF. Need to get and install Digitranslator (+ ilok auth) for PT to allow you to export. It's a part of DVToolkit if you're on LE or a separate add on for TDM. This allows you to export your sequence + volume and pan automation (mostly) into DP with all your regions and what not basically the same as they are in PT.

    -Y!

      Yosh,

      Thanks. I'll probably go with option 1. OMF seems too expensive, especially since I don't have any fades or effects that I need to worry about.

      BTW: Your studio looks great, I am jealous!
