| I've been using this extensively on a massive 5.1 remix project. All stereo files & original parts are in PTHD7.x, and in general ProConvert doea a pretty good job. I have found a couple of gotchas though. The biggest bugbear I have is when the source project has files that apparently exceed full scale, ProConvert "normalizes" the audio files down by the amount that 0dBFS is exceeded by. This is nasty, and has to be watched out for. I've also had a couple of files that simply did not translate properly and imported as empty events into Nuendo. The best solution is still bouncing every single track, but in these projects (well over 150+ tracks in every song) that would take an excessive amount of time and would also mean that the separate clips are not imported. However, when all is considered, I think that PC does a pretty good job. The Audio tool is also massively useful for converting SDII files to B-WAV as well.

| I use it on every film I do, and have since it was called EDL Convert (pre SSL)--for the last 3 years or so. It is a very versatile tool--what is your application for it, like from what source format to what target format? Philip Perkins |

| Good program, but it is in dire need of an update. SSL claims that updates are in the works, but I have yet to see it. They have announced a mac version that has PT 8 support, but you're currently stuck at 7.4 in the PC version. Been using it for years and the development cycle has slowed considerably since SSL took it over. It used to be that bug fixes were instant and that is no longer the case. --Ben |

| well i will be using it for PT to Nuendo converts. Is it my idea or Proconvert used to cost 2000$ and now it costs 200e ? |

| Although I don't often use ProConvert, I have had cases where regions that are muted in my Pro Tools timeline are not muted in the ProConvert-generated Nuendo session. Has anyone encountered this, and if so, did you find a workaround? Thanks,

ALso, with those who are looking for PT8 support, again your workaround is the PT engineer - ask him/her to save in PT7 session format instead of 8.

| Yes Neil, this is good, common sense information, but still infuriating. "If they can put man on the moon ..."

Even more fun with SRC getting involved too. Try a 170+ track PT project at 44.1 where it needs to be remixed at 48kHz...... Still - the alternative solution is a track bounce, one at a time...... Re the moon - didn't Neil & Buzz's computer crash on them just before the landing though? Couldn't work the data rates to simultaneously use the landing radar & track the CM in case of the need to abort so it errored. Useless information or what!
