n-Track Generated WAVs into ProTools?

[DarkFriend]

I have a friend who wants to work on some mixes of my songs in his ProTools-based studio. Anyone have ideas on what I'd need to do to in n-Track to export WAVs that could be imported into ProTools? Sorry that this question is a bit off topic, as ProTools isn't really a home recording tool, but I'm working exclusively in n-Track. Thanks for any assistance or enlightenment.

A wav is a wav is a wav. Any application on PC, Mac or Linux should read them OK.

File>Mixdown and pick the track(s) you want to export. Save to a new name.

When compiling multiple tracks/takes into one single wav for an instrument, I always let it render the entire length of the song... you end up with one huge file (60Mb or so for 24bit/44.1kHz) but it starts at time 0:00 and there is no worry about lining up the track when its imported.

Right, Tim.

Also, remember that many of your tracks can be rendered as mono to save space. i guess it depends on whether you're applying effects to the tracks you'll be giving your friend or if you're just going to give him un-effected WAVs.
