Re: Best way to convert Sound Designer II files to wav?
Agreed.
The situation with trying to find and run an old system to convert old Sessions with SDII files is an unnecessary pain. Surely, it wouldn't take much to reinstate the code to convert these SDII files to WAV in PT12? Stephen

I had a ton of old audio files in my Sound Effects Library that were all SDII. i recently had to convert them, and it was going to be no small task, with over 2 TB of audio files! I used a program called Barbabatch. it converted the SDII to wav for me, and even kept my folder hierarchy, so I didn't have to reorganize all of my audio files after they had been converted. I would imagine that you could probably run this batch conversion, keeping all of your folder structures and everything. Then when you open those older sessions, you would have to relink the audio files to the newly created converted ones. |

Best way to convert Sound Designer II files to wav?
I once tried this and found that you couldn't force the relink because the file types were different. The session has to be saved with file type .aif or .wav to be able to relink aif or wav files. So sessions saved with file type SDII can't be forced to relink aif or wav.
I haven't tested this, but you may be able to save copy in with a different file type and then follow this method I published a few years ago. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MtcWiABzpYM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Re: Best way to convert Sound Designer II files to wav?
Hi all,
I seem to remember hearing about a utility that AVID had come up with [I am not sure if it is free or something they sell] that will convert the sessions. Anybody know anything about that? Also, would John or anyone who knows explain to me exactly what the difference would be between using PT10 to do the conversion, or an older version such as PT7.3? I tried using the "Save In" option in PT12.8.3 to convert a session that had AIFF audio [which 12.8.3 would read] to a session with BWF, and it worked. What is different about using PT10? Does it just convert the audio as it opens the session or something? By the way, for Inglesworth, Logic actually will read SDII files. Thanks for the help. MD

Re: Best way to convert Sound Designer II files to wav?
Hi,
I’m bumping this, not to be annoying, just to make sure I know and understand this before I get a hold of Avid. What would be the difference, if any, between using PT 10 or PT 7.3 to convert the SDII session? Thanks, MD

Hi, Thanks. I know Rail from L.A., but I think the software you are referencing is for Windows, and it also is not going to place the new files properly in the session. You have to do it in ProTools if you have a bunch of overdubs that are all individual little audio clips placed at various places along the timeline. MD
