Dylan Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I have a CD of a Mac ProTools session that I need to master on my PC. I had asked the engineer to export wave files for me, but he didn't. Instead, he just saved the session as normal so I'm stuck with mono SDII files, which I can't open with any Windows apps. ProTools Free for PC won't open these files either, I've tried. I have an iMac at work, but it doesn't have enough RAM to run PT Free :mad: . The iMac only has 64 MB of RAM and I can't get the system to use up less than 44 MB, which doesn't leave enough for PT. I downloaded SoundApp (PPC) for Mac and it's able to open the SDII files just dandy. I converted the format to Wave and it seemed to work, but when I open the files on my PC it shows a peaked wave form that is full of noise with only a bit of recognizable audio. Is there another shareware/freeware app that might do a better job or some setting that I'm missing? I'll try converting to AIFF from SDII to see if that makes any difference later.

lwilliam Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I'm not sure if you need to convert it on your PC or on your Mac, but heres a link to all kinds of converters: http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/cat/FORMAT_CONVERTERS/ Hopefully, there will be something there that helps.

bleen Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Use [url=http://www.soundhack.com]SoundHack[/url] on the iMac to convert from SDII to WAV (among a thousand other things...). It should do it flawlessly. Cheers, Don recording/mix guy don gunn.com myspace.com/dongunnmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 Thanks, Larry, I'll take a look. I'll probably be converting the files on the iMac and transferring them back over the network to my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving to wave won't let me use 24-bit depth, but AIFF is fine. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
