Hey all. Quick question for you.

I have about 20 tracks recorded onto Protools and I want to fly them into cubase. Can I do this? Will I have issues? I

'm not worried about the plugins/settings etc etc. I'm just talking about the raw wav files. If you want, hit me up at spoogy@ix.netcom.com . I

'm kind of thinking that I would have to bring each wav by hand if I want this to work. Maybe there is an easier wat to attack this? Thanks again!

Just dump your tracks to individual wave files and you should have no problem.
 
Yup. Just make sure your start & end markers are identical for each track.
 
yea - thats what i thought.

now heres the big question - how do i go about getting the engineer at the current studio to give up the tracks so i can bring them to my home studio?

basicly we tried his method of mixing and its not working, and im going to attack them at home. but i dont want to be making anyone angry.

is there an ediquite that i need to follow? anything i could say to get the tracks easier?

any help would put me forever in your debt!!

If your studio time was legitimate and paid for, you're entitled to your tracks. He may not make it easy for you (just dump the whole folder to CD), but if you've paid for it, you're legally entitled to it. You may have to pay him an extra small fee for writing it out.
 
just to clarify a bit more:

we are hourly with this guy. and we did talk about fully mixing the project with him, about 3 months worth of work - about 100 hours - but no commitment was made. no dates are booked. and we did preface the first session with the fact that if it wasnt working we would have to go somewhere else.

any ideas how to ease the news?
 
Diplomacy is very important. I should probably leave that answer to some of the real studio guys here.
 
Its not uncommon to mix a few different versions of a song and choose between them for a final version. Tell him you like his mix but want to try a dif approach on your own and compare the two. Dont make it sound like his mix sucks and hes not the pro he thinks he is. Make it sound like you enjoyed working with him. Talk about whatever is positive about his mix but explain you want to try something else on your own....in the interest of having more options to choose from.
