Pick the audio format you want the files to be in (probably WAV in your case) Go to the file menu and go down to "save copy in" If you are able to get it to open, what you want to do is: So install Macdrive on your PC, then try & open the session. If the original session wasn't done on Pro Tools version 7 or higher, you should be able to open it with your Digi 001 system. Therefore, your Windows machine won't get along with it very well. I think your problem is probably that the drive is formatted for Mac (HFS +). There are workarounds to even open the SDII stuff on a PC, but it's a major pain in the ass sometimes. As long as the audio files in the session were saved as wav or aiff ( and NOT SD II), you might be able to do it yourself. It would mean a TON to me and my wife to get this figured out.
hell, i had to show him how to move tracks around and group them! i am trying to get the engineer to convert them for me, but who knows if he'll figure out how to do that. i know i couldn't use the HD plug ins, but i could use the files if there was a way to convert them into something useable.
i can't even open the aiff files to import the audio as session data, or convert them to wav files to do the same.Īll this, and i recorded up at Moorhead State's studio last weekend, and they have a G5 and Pro Tools HD.
So here i am with my wife's Christmas album and a few other things i'd like to remix, but can't. apparently, there's a little box you see when you open a new session says "would you like to enable PC/Mac compatibility"? and we never did, because my old guitarist was thinking (as all Mac addicts do) that we'll never use a PC, so why should we check it? a few things we recorded when the band owned it are on my external hard drive, taken from my old gtrist's Mac. now that the band is no more, i have it (and a PC). I have a digi 001 that the band bought a few years ago (ran with a Mac).
