Is 2:1 lossless edit exports really lossless? ive been nervous to export projects like that. I think it's my third time asking but I want to be sure that it's completely safe.

it's FLAC - it's lossless.

so converting flac back to .wav is completely safe then...?

As long as you don't push the big red button. :-o

No, but really, what Valley said.
And if you can convert one way losslessly, then it stands to reason that you can convert back losslessly, eh.

Think of stuff like FLAC as pretty much a zip/rar for audio... lossless = no loss... :wink:

I havent been willing to try 2:1 myself. I still cant belive its "lossless" What do I know?

It's completely lossless. Also, it's not really 2:1. That's just an estimate, and a slightly flattering one at that.

crumbs it's odd that people worry isn't it! ;)

if it says lossless then it's lossless. and if you do a little reading up on FLAC then you'll be reassured i'm sure.
Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.

imagine zipping or rar'ing your audio? when you uncompress it, it's restored. No different really... except it's focused on audio :)
