Can I Import Tracks to Pro Tools?

[ggg1]

I own a Korg D32XD 32 track workstation. I think it makes some sort of .wav files but not sure what is included in them, maybe a whole mix, maybe individual tracks. How can I import tracks into a Pro Tools setup? I want to track rhythm tracks on the Korg then overdub and mix at a studio in Nashville that has Pro Tools. Is this possible? Could I play them back into their system then realign the tracks or is the .wav a better?

Sorry, but I'm clueless as to how this all works.

yeah, man...get an optical cable and use the ADAT out to send each track (up to 8) individually to something like the 002, assuming you have the 002.

but you didn't say which I/O setup you had

or....
use the analog outputs (Main outs) to go to your interface

OR....

burn them all to CD and open them on the computer...then import them. Looking at the specs, it looks like it burns WAV files.

It does burn .wav files yes

I appreciate your response. I'll try the .wav method. Do I need to burn each track as a seperate .wav file? Just use a normal music CD-R?

Will they align properly automatically once uploaded?

Thanks!

I'm not sure...you'd have to tell me because I don't own that hardware unit you have. Look in your manual, it should tell you. But my guess is it burns it as a normal redbook audio CD, which means it will sum it to stereo.

If that's the case you can just burn one track at a time to several CDs and transfer it over to Pro Tools. And yes, a normal CD-R should do the trick.

They should all align up properly in PT as long as you select the same start and ending time for each track. Then place them at the same start/end time in PT.

You could take your Korg with you with a USB cable and just USB to the studio's computer and then export the wav tracks to their computer through the USB.
