Save the egg. I just did a little experiment with two mono (split stereo) files. DP wrote a new interleaved file. ProTools references the original, separate .L and .R files, displaying them as one stereo track in the mixing board. No new file is created. I have to say I like that approach better - ...

Can't you just drag the .L or .R file into the left side of the Tracks Window and let DP create a stereo track for you? This was the ticket. Worked like a charm - I just dragged one of the two files to the track window and bam, done. Now I know. Thanks! Pretty sure DP does display identically-named...

I could be wrong but I think PT can automatically show non-interleaved stereo tracks as a single stereo channel on its mixing board, without having to convert to an interleaved file. See, this is all I wanted from the beginning. It would save time converting, as well as disk space, if DP could do th...

OK I'm back to take my medicine. The elevator finally got to the top floor. When my friend sent his PT files, the keyboard track's two (L & R) files were saved with these names: 17-KEYS L-250405_2104.wav 18-KEYS R-250405_2104.wav I then added the suffixes "L" and "R" like I t...

Ok guys, thanks. I'll look into this a bit more in the next day or two. I'll create a stereo file in another app (Audacity, I guess), save it de-interleaved, and try importing it to DP. Totally fishing here - could the fact these files are on an external HD formatted as Mac OS Extended have anything...

Thanks but that didn't work. I created a stereo track and dragged one of the files to it, but it didn't give me the typical blue outline that denotes being able to drop the file or soundbite. Releasing the dragged file on the track resulted in no action. I tried both dragging the file from the Finde...

I'll add this: I tried the "Import Audio" dialog in the Soundbites window menu. What's strange is that all the audio files in the file selector are greyed out and non-selectable, except the ones I had previously dragged to the soundbites window! BTW I forgot to mention I did try this dialo...

I can't believe it's 2025 and I'm still struggling with this. I was sent a bunch of audio files from a live concert recorded on ProTools and the keyboards (stereo) are two separate files. I appended ".L" and ".R" before ".WAV" on the files and dragged them to the Soundb...

Thanks for these replies. I hadn't been into the Bundles dialog. I did create a Liano bundle showing its outputs. I made sure the audio tracks' output assignments were all made to this output pair, then saved the file, quit DP and restarted. When I loaded my project the outputs were correctly set to...

I connect my Korg Liano to my MacBook Air and use its built-in speakers as my audio output (the Liano does bi-directional audio and MIDI over USB). I don’t have studio monitors and find the Liano’s speakers better than the Mac’s. I also prefer not to use headphones when just messing around at home. ...

Thanks for that suggestion, I tried it and it didn't work but then I found the solution... and it has me scratching my head but I'm not going to complain; I can go on mixing now. Turns out the issue I was seeing was only on that one track . All other tracks behaved normally wrt Range Touch and Range...

The plot thickens - I created a new empty project, put an audio file into a track and messed with automating the volume fader. Range touch and latch work as expected! I'm at a loss.

Hard to believe this is a bug but it sure looks like it. Does anyone here record automation using the Range Latch or Range Touch modes? The manual says this: "when recording automation using the Range modes, moving controls will change automation data only within a defined time range . The sett...

Merge, not Bounce. Control Shift M

Yes, I meant to say merge - I had bouncing on my brain! Thanks

That article is much more help than DP's user guide, thanks! I may have been doing it wrong but I remember trying to use Melodyne in ARA and every time I went to save my DP project I'd get a beachball for a good 10 seconds or so. I turned ARA off and saving got back to almost instantaneous. I'll re-...
