Checking in about the viability of importing a Pro Tools session into DP.
I'm wondering what the current state of the art is for this kind of transfer.
I've been asked to mix some tracks that were recorded in PT.
Pretty complex with lots of tracks... audio and MIDI.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: Importing Pro Tools session
I do some of this from time to time and the easiest way for me is to ask the source engineer to consolidate all of the audio files so that they all begin at the same time. In other words, any punch-Ins on a track are all merged into one single file.
I also like no processing on the audio like EQ or compression, etc.
I haven't done much with long distance MIDI, but I'm gonna assume that they could send you the MIDI file and you could start the project with that (to get tempos, etc.) and then import the merged/consolidated audio.
A starting point...

Re: Importing Pro Tools session
I usually in PT save as an OMF then open in DP. I then import the MIDI file into the session. The only thing for me is OMF is a crap shoot in DP so I open it in AudioDesk then save as an DP file.
