ANY SOLUTION FOR GETTING AUDIO FILES INTO A MAC FROM A
PC,AND SYNCED UP WOULD, BE A GREAT HELP!! PLEASE OFFER
YOUR DETAILED SUGGESTIONS!! THE FOLLOWING IS MY HEADACHE
FROM START TO FINISH AND MY OWN DETAILED EFFORT THAT DID
NOT WORK?


I have a song,created on a pc, with 10 tracks, each track
is saved as a wav file at the projetct tempo. I have tried
to save these files as .aif and then import them into
anothers studios macintoch to mix it, but it does not
recogniz the aif format for some reason.

So i tried burning them to a cd as .cda files, and then
used Toast extractor on the MAC to change the files to a
aif format, then imported those into qbase. Now that the
files are imported they dont sync up. some do and some
dont. I have also noticed that the file sizes are
different.

somehwere along at either the burning of the wave files to
cd, or at converting the files to aif using Toast
Extractor, something is changing the leangths of the
files. I made an intentional effort to make every file
uniform, in time, size, and leangth. THey are all the
same , but once burned, they get changed.

I know this is getting long, but im almost done.

I then took the cd to my pc, and converted the .cda to wav,
and those wavs dident sync. Does anyone know what is
happening to the file when they are burned.
