How do I download tracks?
Hi. When I download my project it downloads as an MP3 file. How do I download so its a folder with tracks, that I can send to an engineer to mix and edit?
Thanks. |

Re: How do I download tracks?
Humm not trying to smart aleck BUT your best bet to get answers targeted to your specific situation is
First:: list your system details in your signature line under the "User CP" far left in the header just under the top header . As I have done Then people replying have some idea how answer For Example not knowing which version of PT are you using ? you question either makes some sense or it base on the wrong terminology and make little sense Are you talking about trying to download individual tracks to your computer from cloud storage (as in the old PT free version that had no local storage ?) in which case Never used it and have no suggestion OR do actually mean how to export all the individual tracks to your desk top, to be able to send to a mix engineer In the second case see below In the Edit Window, group all tracks. There are two easy ways to do this: Choose ALL from the Groups window Option + Click on one of the track names (which selects all tracks), on the menu bar, click Track, Groups (notice that all audio tracks are currently in Group), click OK Using the selector tool, click and hold beyond the end of the last audio track, then drag back to the beginning of the session, so that the entirety of all tracks are selected Go to the Edit Menu and select Consolidate Clip, which will make each track a single file, with all the audio files the same length — starting from the beginning of the session Click Shif t+ Command + K to bring up the Export menu Select File Type: WAV Format: (Multiple) Mono Bit Depth: 24 Bit Sample Rate: 96kHz For Destination Directory, click Choose, then create a Directory for the exported files, with the name of the song to be exported For Resolve Duplicate File Names, choose Prompting For Each Duplicate Click Export

PS: if the person you are sending to is also a ProTools user you could just send the entire session folder.

Re: How do I download tracks?
No "exporting" necessary if you send the whole thing. Just find the folder that the session resides in (has the ".ptx" file and sub-folders for "Session File Backups", "Audio Files", etc) and send the other party that entire folder via DropBox, WeTransfer or some other way. The other party should be able to open it right up and work on it with all your edits routing and plugins in place.
The only catch is if your audio files have not been copied into that "Audio Files" sub-folder. If it's empty then you have a couple options... One is to export the tracks as K Roche has described. Another is to "Save Copy In" (or might be "Save As"), select a new location for the whole session and be sure to "include audio".

Yes!!! Zip this new copy folder & upload. I like GoogleDrive.
