Hello: You will need to purchase the digi converter software to export to omf in pro tools, which costs something like $500. I can't imagine that there would be a problem with both programs on the same system.

I use an M-Audio ProjectMix as my audio interface. Now, I have a friend who would like to do some work with me on four projects recorded with Pro Tools. Here is my question: Would it be OK if I install Pro Tools in my system in order to open these projects and export them to Sonar? I have been working with Sonar for about 7 months and my whole system works very nice for me. I would not like to create any conflicts or unknowingly change some settings that could affect the way either Sonar or my computer works. Can Sonar and Pro Tools coexist peacefully in the same XP-pro environment? Are there any settings in Pro Tools or any plug-in that I should be careful with during installation? Finally, if it is OK to install Pro Tools, do you know what is the best way to export a project from Pro Tools to Sonar? I have seen some references to the OMF format. Can I get that from Pro Tools? My friend is sighted and she does have some experience with Pro Tools, so she will be doing the actual exporting of the projects. Thanks in advance for your advise.
