i recently got a hold of some masters of my old band
that were recorded on mac protools. i want to mix them
down at home, but my program deals with .wav files...
does anyone know of a program that will rip the
raw track files to .wav for pc mixing?
or possibly an export function in protools itself that will do this?
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Pro-Tools tracks ripped to raw .wav s?
2What OS are you using on your PC?
Protools would probably be the easiest place to bounce all of the tracks separately to wavs.
Protools free is available for PC but is not supported by XP. It also has a track limit, but there is a "modded" version which can handle more.
I havn't used Protools for a while, but are the files not saved separately as .aiff files? A wave editor like Soundforge or Cooledit (Adobe now) would do the job if that was the case.

if protools "bounces" the tracks to .wav there may be hope
thanks for the input!

4What type of files are they now? I usually do my PT sessions as wav sessions so there would be no need for transfers, etc.
If they are in another file type (aiff, etc) I would duplicate each track, consolidate them all to the very beginning so they all have the very same start point, then save each as a new named wav file. Then you can just open them up in your other program, slam them to the front and they all should line up just right. You do not need to bounce anything.
But again, check what type they are now...you may only have to consolidate and rename each so you can find the correct consolidated tracks in the 'audio files' folder to export to your other program.
In other words, this should be a very easy thing to do. PM me if you need help. I do something like this (send files between sessions, not programs)a lot.

Yes, PT should be able to bounce to wav or SDII or AIFF, etc. Should be very easy but again, you may not need to bounce anything, just consolidate and rename.
