I would appreciate it if the SF pros would do a little experamenting on this. CUZ I WOULD BUY T IN A SECOND IF THEY COULD SUGGEST A SOLUTION!! I majorly need a tool to convert pc file over to mac, but untill I find a program that can do it, Im not gonna bother buyng anything!

Subject:Re: SAVING AS .AIF Reply by: DataCowboy Date:4/4/2000 4:26:00 PM I've run into the same problem as well when giving our mastering engineer audio files (he's a Mac Pro Tools User). We can't give him files saved in SF as .AIF's regardless of what we name them. Of course, we have no problem giving him .WAV's, so that's what we do.

Hello.

I'm no mac guy, but I think you have to rename the file to .aiff
after transfering it over into the Mac machine.

There is a 3 character limit on DOS file extensions, this is why we
had to use .aif as opposed to .aiff

Thanks.

I've run into the same problem as well when giving our mastering
engineer audio files (he's a Mac Pro Tools User). We can't give him
files saved in SF as .AIF's regardless of what we name them. Of
course, we have no problem giving him .WAV's, so that's what we do.
