Cannot import PT12 .wav files to PT7.1
Hi,
My band recently had a recording session in a studio using PT12. I have PT7.1 that I am hoping I can use to do some remixing. When the original .ptx session files wouldn't load into PT7.1, I went on the forums and learned that we needed to save the session as a .ptf session using "Save Session In..." and selecting PT7-9. We did that, but the new .ptf session still would not load. I tried to create a new PT7.1 session to import the PT12 .wav files to see if they would be recognized, but I got the error message "._KEYS_01.L.wav is unreadable by Pro Tools", so I'm thinking at this point that the problem might be that the PT12 .wav files have a different format that PT7.1 does not recognize. Can anyone tell me how I can modify the PT12 .wav files so they can be imported into PT7.1? Thanks, Brad McMillan |

Re: Cannot import PT12 .wav files to PT7.1
It sounds like the audio files are 32-bit float. PT7 will only use 16 or 24-bit fixed point files. When you 'Save Session In...', there should also be an option for converting the audio files into a format compatible with the .ptf.

Re: Cannot import PT12 .wav files to PT7.1
I was able to get the conversion done using your suggestion with some variation (Save Copy In..., Format Pro Tools 5 -> 6) --- Thank you.
