Basicly, I am composing songs using VSTis, and live tracks in T2. A neighboring studio has an SSL board with Protools, and I'd like to mix down in that. I have an external USB drive to put the tracktion info in, but what else do I need to do?
Is Tracktion suitable for this purpose, or would it be better for me to compose the songs that will be mixed in PTs in Ableton or Logic, which slaves very well w/ PTs.
I ask this because the MIDI in T2 doesn't seem to be as stable and "locked" as Live, and using VSTis and beat machines, obviously this is very key.
How difficult is it to transfer a t2 session into PTs?

Why not use the new track render function in T2's export panel?
It exports each track in an edit to audio as individual wav/aiff files instead of a single stereo one. Then simply import the whole lot into PT and mix from there.

I do this all the time. I use the "export each track as separate file" feature and then just import them into PT at the studio. No need to slave anything since they're just wavs. After exporting all the files, I usually open them up in Adobe Audition multi track view just to make sure they're aligned ect. Thats really just out of paranoia but I have to make sure the session is gonna work.

you might want to also laydown a click type wave to make things easier when you get there...

great..thanks guys.
I have a random question also. My latency is set in my hardware DA converter (firebox).
But I see now that I never looped it to test my monitor latency. I did this in Ableton and saw it is 8 ms.
This is a big deal because my timing on drums was always a bit off in T2. I now see that's because my monitoring was not calibrated. So now I see I have an 8ms delay, how do i enter that in so T2 will adjust for it?
My hardware latency is 3.9 ms. But I need to add that 8ms in for monitoring basicly.

Never had any real trouble rendering vsti's and I've been using T since 2003. I find there is some needless inflamitory comments about rendering on the forum.stash98 wrote:that's a great way to do it. I just read a lot of posts from people having trouble with export and rendering their VSTis.
Do a few tests to settle your mind.

You go to settings, audio devices, select an input and then check out the properties panel.stash98 wrote: This is a big deal because my timing on drums was always a bit off in T2.

thanks so much...something i should have done long before. I got 7.25 ms. I am assuming I can apply this time adjust to my SPIDf also since I can't see way to loop this input?

Not sure what to do there, your guess is probably right.
