It's just a case of dragging/dropping those onto a hard drive. As long as all the tracks start at the same point it should be easy to drag into PT/Logic and away you go.

Unless I'm missing something.
Hi Corsair,

Yeah, I guess I could. I'm just not very familiar with ITB...anything really. I've never done any real serious production with audio digitally. I really dig Ableton because it's really flexible.

I just want to be able to hand something to a professional. If I hand him/her a bunch of AIF/WAV files and say, "Here, just sync them up". I would think that would cost me more time and money everytime I hand files to and engineer to mix, no?

To avoid further cost, I'd still have to do it myself and then dump to another software, and THEN transport the files so it loads up in the mixer's software appropriately for mixing.

I understand plugins can't be transferred unless installed, but I'd like to get my work to a basic transporting level that's accepted.

I guess I just nee to get ProTools?
