Consolidate Regions + Convert Sample Rate + Export

[SoundReplay]

Hello,

I've recorded 4 songs of a rockband last weekend in PT 7.4 HD2 TDM (96kHz-24Bit). I have over 30 tracks (most of them are mono) for each song (all WAV files).

Someone else is asking if he can mix these songs on Cubase (he's using 48kHz-24 bit)

My question to you guys:

1. How can I consolidate all tracks AT THE SAME TIME so that they have the same lenght (i.e. not consolidate 1 by 1)
2. Convert all consolidated tracks from 96kHz to 48kHz AT THE SAME TIME
3. Identify these consolidated/converted tracks and export (they should be 48kHz and should be all identical in file size)

I know how to consolidate track by track, bounce it and convert to 48kHz and export, but that would be a very time-consuming process.

What would be a nice trick to speed up this process?

Thanks!

if you want to consolidate tracks WITHOUT plugins written to them, then:

make a selection of all the tracks and the range you want to consolidate (this way you´re able to consolidate more than one track at a time)

name the regions, select them all again and export them as new audio-files (shift+cmd+K) - in the export dialog choose the desired samplerate and bit-resoution

That is such a great tip from Osman! i have used it quite a lot for mastering and for VI's. and great video's showing how its done as well

You can see in the video that the printed audio is shifted later in the track (easy to see where he toggles between playlists). Isn't this a problem?

Thank you Chris - in fact I should put an update as I started using pre-roll etc. which requires no user intervention for pressing the record button during printing.

It seems to work on all versions of PT 7.x and 8.x
