Subject:Sound forge and Protools Posted by: McHappy Date:1/12/2004 6:43:50 AM Does anybody know the best way to take a single track from a protools session, edit with effects in SF7 and then place the edited track back in protools
Subject:RE: Sound forge and Protools Reply by: Iacobus Date:1/14/2004 1:04:32 PM I'm not familiar with Pro Tools, but didn't it have an "edit with (editing app of choice)" like ACID and Vegas do? Using this manner, once you make changes and save and then switch back to the sequencing app, the changes should automatically be reflected.

Subject:RE: Sound forge and Protools Reply by: McHappy Date:1/14/2004 4:13:38 PM Thanks for the suggestion but protools is very much a closed system.Go figure.They have no such edit command.They want us to buy there plugins for large bucks. What I have been doing is bouncing the comp track to disc, editing it with effects, and then reimporting it to the PTs playlist.I then drag it from the bin to a new track. I find I have Latency problems with this method, and have to nudge the track around to get it to sync.Is this an offset problem which could be corrected with a simple offset command in either of the Apps?
Subject:RE: Sound forge and Protools Reply by: Rednroll Date:1/14/2004 4:54:28 PM What you have to do, is do an import/export from Protools. You basically export the track to a wave file, open it in sound Forge, edit, import back into Protools. Protools doesn't have the nice right click and "open in editor" feature like Vegas, or Acid does.
Subject:RE: Sound forge and Protools Reply by: McHappy Date:1/14/2004 5:35:35 PM Thanks All: I guess what I have been doing is on the right track. Now if I can figure out how to export a guitar track, comprised of many takes pieced together from regions, to a wav. file without first bouncing it to disc,I will be even Mchappier.
Subject:RE: Sound forge and Protools Reply by: Greg_M Date:1/16/2004 7:43:25 PM McHappy, In Pro Tools, use the Consolidate Regions command to make a single file of many regions on a track. Open the newly consolidated file in SF, make your changes, and open back up in PT. I usually keep the original PT audio file as is and rename the edited file in SF which requires you to import it back into PT. You'll need to drag the newly named file back onto the original track, but It should line back up perfectly. You shouldn't need to bounce to disk - that could get very time consuming. Greg

Subject:RE: Sound forge and Protools Reply by: EdMLL Date:2/19/2004 5:19:21 AM If you are using Pro Tools I think the best choice is to use plug-ins RTAS and the 32 bit processing enviroment of Pro Tools, bounce only when you have finished all in Pro Tools. My opinion, ok.
