Bounce to disk

[Roy D Carlson]

When I bounce to disk, what WAV format does ProTools save the file in? I try to burn it to CD using NERO, but unless I reopen the file in CoolEdit or a similar program, save it again, it will not burn. I end up loosing quality when i have to do this. Can anyone give me a pointer on this?

Thanks

Roy,
You're in the wrong forum for this question, and a search for Nero would yield MANY results.

If you use Nero, then you need to open and save the PTLE wave files using something like Sound Forge. Nero will then burn them.

There have been posts of some freeware products that will do what SF is doing if you need them. Again, search.

Loosing quality???? Then you should check your setting in the program.....I don't have problems like that.....

make sure you are bouncing at 16 bit and 44.1 sample rate you will see those options
in the bounce to disk dialog. hope this helps

this is true, but again, with nero you will need to open the bounced file (in cool edit, soundforge, whatever) and re-save it for it to work. ptle adds header info to the wav files that nero cannot read. there should not be any quality loss be re-saving the wav file in another editing program.

i also have read that you can bounce to disk as aif instead of wav, and nero will read them fine. i have not tried it myself.
