Transfering TDM files to PT 4.3
 

I've never taken TDM system files to a Pro Tools 4.3 system and I was just wondering if anyone had done this and if there are any problems or issues I should know about before doing so.
I'm going to use zip disks as the medium for the exchange to move them to a G4 PT 4.3 system.
Thanks in advance.

What kind of G4 PT 4.3 system? What Digidesign hardware, if any?

For starters, if you're using Pro Tools 5 TDM, you can "Save Session As" a 4.3 session.

Hi Bruce,
The software I'm using is the PT 4.3.1.
As for hardware I'm currently using the stock sound card from the G4 350. I have a digi sound card but due to driver conflicts I'm just using the apple card.
The recording I'll be doing on a TDM 5.1 system. If all I need to do is save session as 4.3 type then that sould be simple enough.
I was planning on making the transfer through zip disks. Is there anything else I need to know about?

Why not Burn a Cd - to transfer the file...?

Unless you're working on a SpeedMetal band with 10 second songs, you might find that you need quite a few zips....

That's a good idea.
I want to master the mix at home so I could make each track a song on the CD. It would save a lot of zips. If only the TDM system has a burner...?
