Best way to move tracks from logic to vegas?

[VirtualSamana]

I have a USB Quattro interface. It actually works quite well except that it needs ASIO drivers to actually use all 4 ins and outs at once. I didn't know this when I bought it and was a bit pissed at m audio for not even mentioning this on the box.

It came bundled with logic delta (great to know that it's now discontinued for the pc but that's another gripe) OK so my DAW of choice is Vegas which doesn't support ASIO drivers. To make a long story short I would like to transfer tracks recorded in Logic to Vegas for editing. What is the best way to do this?

I dont use any of those two but you could probably export the files as "wav" and then import them into Logic as wav.

Just make sure you line them up first in Vegas so when you import them to they will automaticly line up in place.

I believe VirSam is going in the other direction.

If you recorded them in Logic as multitracked recorded .wavs that were lined up with each other to begin with, no further adjustment is needed in Vegas. They will be lined up there as well.

Having just introduced ASIO support in Acid 4.0 I think Sound Forge will be adding this to Vegas soon.

Well- I can hope, can't I?

Thanks Shailat and Doc!

I know that you, Doc are an avid Vegas user. I am too, so I am hoping that SF takes notice of us and starts implementing features for home wreckers.

I have another question for you:
When tracking in Logic are the incoming signals recorded as .wav files. Thus coudl I just open the files directlly in Vegas without having to first render them as a .wav file in Logic. Never used Logic before so forgive my dumb ass.

Oh yeah, didn't I read somewhere you are an environmental chemist. Correct me if I am wrong on this one. I do environmental science/toxicology work as well so it's always interesting meeting other people in similar fields who are into recording.

Yes they are. No additional "rendering" is required. Multitracked files are given one name with a number indicating track source. You can change each one later to a more descriptive name.

>Oh yeah, didn't I read somewhere you are an environmental chemist.

Right again. I started out in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, did a stint in Corporate "Pure" Research for an Oil Company and now run a Toxic Waste Treatment Plant. My effluent is so clean it attracts wild fowl.

There was a guy I read about that recorded a piece of music using the sounds of a waste treatment plant in Norway, I think.
The pumps and agitators do make some interesting sounds.
