Imported wav sounds poor
Hello,
I have a wav file, I open it in either audacity or just play it in MS media player and it sounds great, If I import it to Pro Tools 12 (same thing on previous versions) it looses a lot of it's quality and volume at 0, I am not using any plugins, If I then bounce to disk it sounds just as poor as when it's in Pro Tools. I'm and running at 44.1khz Any suggestions or is that just how it is? Thanks Jim |

Re: Imported wav sounds poor
Way more information is needed here. System specs? Bit depth? etc...How are you importing into protools?
Please only post in one spot, not that I haven't done it, but it usually garners a better result; or gets moved by the mods

have you tried recording audio and seeing if you get the same result? Have you tried importing a different file? As far as I know, W10 is NOT qualified for protools. And from what I've seen, most are having better success with W7. I'm not a windows guy for audio anymore, so not much help there.

Re: Imported wav sounds poor
I tried it again today, I think what i was doing wrong had to do with a stereo file vs a mono file.
So playing it through audacity, media player or Pro tools it all sounds the same. Thanks for getting me in the right direction by trying different files, ETC. Jim |
