Importing OMF from Final Cut - avoiding split audio?

You can easily convert your split stereo files with the "copy/convert" function (select all split stereo regions in the Arrange and hit control+F or do it in the Bin) - choose split->interleaved from the menue. You can do this for all files at once so it´s less hassle.

Not sure if it fixes your problem but XML export should be far superior to OMF.

I have tried this approach with unfortunate results. I had saved an OMF from Digital Performer which I subsequently imported into Logic. Logic of course did not properly convert the split stereo files into interleaved files (Why is there simply no option for this? Or DP should have an option to save as interleaved during the export).

So I tried the Convert command as suggested on the Arrange window...It worked...Except that two stereo tracks were produced for each original interleaved file. Not only that, the tracks were stereo mirrors (channels reversed). So in each case, one has to go through and delete one track of the pair after the conversion. Am I doing something wrong here?

Thank you for any info....

Good advice.

After doing this, delete the no longer needed second (originally mono right channel) track of each track pair in Logic.

Nota Bene: To hear the resulting interleaved tracks in stereo in Logic, you must change the track from mono to stereo (toggle the mono/stereo symbol in the bottom left corner of each corresponding Channel Strip in the Mixer)!!
