Q: How to open a multitrack project recorded in Protools in Logic 9

Howdy folks -

 

My band just recently recorded a multitrack project in Protools 10 that we'd like to import or open in Logic 9 for overdubs and the final mix and master. I haven't a clue how to do this. I've heard Protools will export or save to .omf which can then be opened in Logic. Or alternatively the Protools can render the tracks as audio files which can then be opened/imported to Logic. But how exactly does one go about this?

 

All the best,

 

Frank

    Apologies for the late response. Thanks for your assistance. The OMF method worked. However, there were a couple of unanticipated issues.

     

    Have used it on two songs so far.

     

    1) on both songs each audio file was cut off before the end of the song

     

    2) on the second song the audio files appeared 2 plus hours into the project!

     

    It took a while but I discovered in the Sample Viewer that the end point of each audio file was set about a minute short of the actual end. Issue solved by dragging the end point to the actual end. Performed this on each file.

     

    Second issue was more difficult because upon opening the .omf the tracks appeared but not the audio files. Opened the file a few times before noticing that the project time said two hours plus. After scrolling all the way to the end I saw the files and drug them to the beginning of the project. Again had to go into sample viewer to adjust the end point of each audio file. Fortunatley there were just 8 audio files per song and this wasn't some 96 track film score :-)

     

    Whether this is a Pro Tools issue or a Logic issue is unclear. I described the issue to my producing partner as he created the omf files and he had no idea.

     

    Anyone else experience this?
