can protools accept wave files from other DAW

[onerob]

hi
here is the scenario: im going to a studio to record a track done at home in cakewalk 9. its on my hard drive (apx 15 tracks including vocals).
Can i send these wave files into protools to be mixed?
If so , can i burn these wave files to a cd? Would i be able to go into this protools session with a cd of wave files and lay them into protools?

As I recall Cakewalk does not use wav files. However, to answer your question, PT will work with .wav, AIFF or SDii files from any DAW based application. It is best if starting new sessions in PT to set the session paramaters to the files, i.e. 24 bit 44.1k wav files, and enforce mac/pc compatibility.

Hope this is helpful.

Yes.

Burn it as a data-cd, not an audio-cd.

.wav files can be imported in protools-sessions.

How does one convert cakewalk audio files to wav files?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I think he is assuming Cakewalk uses .wav files, which it does not. He must first convert the Cakewalk files, which use their own proprietary file type, to .wav before he leaves the cakewalk studio. Otherwise he'll have cakewalk sessions he cannot do anything with without the Cakewalk software.

Hope this is helpful.

That i don't know.....

Onerob wants to know if .wav files can be imported into protools, and yes they can...

I think that cakewalk somehow has a feature to export files as .wav or AIFF or something that can be imported easely into a protools session....

If i confused things here, i appologize...

Cakewalk 9 definitely uses .wav files.

I am not sure how you get there but, I am sure Cakewalk can export .wav files. I used to do it in CW9.

Well, at least as far as Sonar goes...
When installed, Sonar creates a folder in the system root drive called "Cakewalk Projects".
Inside that folder there's an "Audio Data" folder which contains all .wav files from your current projects.
