Version compatibility between MAC and PC
I am experiencing difficulties opening files that were created on the MAC Pro Tools LE 5.2.1. I am using M-Powered 8 on a PC with Windows 7.
I can succesfully transfer the files to my PC using MacDrive, but none of the files are recognised by my PC, they don't seem to have any file extensions. And more importantly, Pro Tools does not recognise these files. I was told by the sales team at Avid that the 2 would be compatible although some of the plug-ins might not work. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? lemans |

Re: Version compatibility between MAC and PC
The real problem here isn't one of compatibility between the two platforms, but the AGE of the software that created the files in the first place.

You need to ask the origination engineer to select “Enforce Mac/PC Compatibility” and re-save the session for you. You will also want to ask the original engineer to make sure to use wav or aif files, and NOT SDII files.

Re: Version compatibility between MAC and PC
spkguitar,
I am going over to my engineer's this weekend for a recording session. I will check out his settings to see if “Enforce Mac/PC Compatibility” is enabled, I suspect that is isn't. Many thanks for your advice. lemans |
