Protools to Cubase / Nuendo import (1 Viewer)

[Wicker]

Hi Folks,
I've got our album in Protools session format (on various disks) and as I don't use protools, I want to import it to Cubase or Nuendo....

Is there any third party s/w that will let me do this and perhaps create an OMF extract from the disks ?

Or do I need to bring the disks to someone with a protools setup?

Any of you knowledgable folks have experience of doing this ?

Thanks

PS: Pete feel free to move this if it belongs in the Recording forum instead

It's easy enough to move the raw tracks across.
Moving any plugins, automation or editing is a whole different story, and the short, free answer to that is.. No.

This can move automation, pan, etc but not plugins

But like RedTapeMenace said, if it's just tracks then there's no problem

That's the non-free alternative I was thinking of alright.
In fact, it's dang expensive.

You should be able to just import the wavs into Cubase/Nuendo.
Let me know if there's any pro tools exporting stuff you need done.

The raw tracks is pretty much all I need as I plan to do a complete re-mix of the lot..

Have stumbled upon this ...

The only thing I can think of in using the raw audio is that if you dropped in a few times. Or recorded stuff in different sections, you may have to sync that stuff back up by hand.

If the songs arn't huge.
Giz a shout and I'll bounce some stuff for you as well.

Thank you kindly sir.
Might get back to you on that.

If they're wavs, they should be timestamped.
In PT you change to spot mode and click a file and it'll give you the option of snapping to its original timecode location.
I'm sure there's something similar in Cubase etc.

Did'nt think of that.
