Make sure that they are saved from the Mac machine on your external hard drive as an Apple.AIFF and then you can easily import them into Sonar by doing an alt-f then scroll down until you see import. Choose audio then tab over to file type, which will be for you Apple.AIFF. then go and locate your files folder and you're good to go. Robert

Cool!So I export from Pro Tools as OMF, Apple.AIFF or Raw Data, then in Sonar I go to import and then choose audio and go to my hard drive and click on the files I want to import? Does it matter with Pro Tools what operating system the external hard drive is? Should I have it formatted as a Mack or Windows? And are there any drivers I need to allow either the Mack to export onto the hard drive or to import from Sonar?I'm not sure, but I believe that the way the Pro Tools system at my school is set up is that Pro Tools saves everything in the hard drive to start with, then that way it doesn't take 5 hours to export all your tracks. Is there any way to do this with Sonar and will those files that are placed directly into the hard drive open in Sonar? Or is exporting and importing the only way?Thank you, Brandon Keith Check out MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/brandonkeithcom Also add me on facebook! brandonkeith -------------------------------------------------- From: "Robert Hall" <truecut@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 10:59 AM To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ddots-l] Re: External Hard drives?Hi Brandon:You have to import it into Sonar. A buddy of minds sends me files from his Mac and they import with no problem as an Apple.AIFF. Hopes this helps, Robert. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon Keith" <brandonboy13@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 8:18 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: External Hard drives?Cool thanks!But, how do the OMF files get into Sonar? Could you open up the project in Sonar and have each track as it was in Pro Tools? Also, do I need a driver or something for a windows formatted hard drive to be able to receive the files from the Mack?Thank you, Brandon Keith Check out MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/brandonkeithcom Also add me on facebook! brandonkeith -------------------------------------------------- From: "Bryan Smart" <bryansmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 25, 2010 9:46 PM To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ddots-l] Re: External Hard drives?If your school's Pro Tools is Pro Tools LE or HD with the DV upgrade, then they can export Pro Tools projects to OMF format. Sonar can load OMF files. Pro Tools MPowered isn't able to use OMF.If your school's Pro Tools isn't capable of saving OMF files, then your only choice is to export raw audio in Pro Tools, and load those files individually on to tracks in a new Sonar project.Bryan -----Original Message-----From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brandon KeithSent: Monday, October 25, 2010 10:39 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] External Hard drives? Hello,I have a recording studio at my school that I want to use to record, but it is a Pro Tools run studio. So I'm going to have a friend engineer my stuff while I'm in the studio, but I am wondering what I need to do to a fire wire drive to make it go into Sonar? What do I need to do with Pro Tools to get the data readable by Sonar (with out exporting all 2 hours of 5 tracks)?So basically I want to record with Pro Tools and edit with Sonar. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Brandon Keith Check out MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/brandonkeithcom Also add me on facebook! brandonkeith PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
