Greets all... I have a 3 hour show to mix in surround, and the media came to me as aiff files in a ProStools session. I am wondering if anyone has had any luck converting ProTools sessions to OMF and importing into LAPM 6.1 and/or LAPW 5.2. I have ProTools free but it won't open the sessions as they are PT 6x format. I'm hoping Digitranslator can do this as a stand alone app... thanks in advance Gil Morales

The current version of DigiTranslator (2.x) only works as a "module" inside of ProTools TDM (not LE). The old version 1.x of DigiTranslator is stand-alone, but it only does 16bit files, not 24bits (and only 48KHz or 44.1KHz files). Digidesign's forthcoming DV ToolKit enhances the functionality of ProTools LE by adding DigiTranslator and other stuff. I don't know exactly when this is shipping. I've mostly had success importing OMF files into PT or Logic, but sometimes not - and I can rarely put my finger on exactly why ( they come to me exported from AVID or FinalCutPro or whatever, and I have no idea what the video people did). However, whenever I do the export to OMF myself, it has always turned out to be fully compatible with PT or Logic. Probably because I'm doing the export from either PT or Logic itself? f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!"
