Render .wave question

Randini wrote on 10/29/2006, 11:56 AM

Just finished mixing and need to render a .wave to send to mastering house. My Protools friend found it weird that my wave option did not have a render that plays the entire song (he says slower is better). Is this true? What type of .wave render would you use in CUSTOM / FORMAT?

Thank you,
Randini

Hmmmmmmmm. You've got me very confused. What do you mean by "plays the entire song?" Are you saying that somehow the rendered file doesn't contain the complete song?

Slower what is better? What does this have to do with the entire song?

Hey Chienworks ;

I think someone is trying to convince Randini that real time render ( which means that as you render you hear the song, just like as 'write to disk' in PTools) gives you a better render!

Doubtful. Unless you're using some very poorly written effects plugins, there's no way that real-time render can be better than letting the render process take ... well, as long as it takes. It could end up being a bit worse.

I always do my Pro Tools renders in super slow motion to make them sound really good with that great Pro Tools sound!

1) no, its not true.
2) whatever the resolution of your project is. If you're sending it to mastering, let them change the resolution and or sample rate.
