best place to go to get my ptf files converted to omfs?

hithere · 18th November 2011

hey guys I recently did some demo sessions a year or two ago and have been trying to open them, but to no avail, I do not own pro tools or the converter.

A friend did the session and didn't delete a ton of the tracks made the names kinda messy etc, but most of my local studios don't run pro tools or have the converter, is there any online service that would convert them to omf or something so i can finally dump the project into different programs and at least listen to the tracks synced up?

It would take 5 minutes to open the ptf file and consolidate your files to Bar 1 WAVs.
I wouldn't bother with OMFs if I were you. They are still a little flaky on all but the simplest of sessions.

Talk nicely to one of the nearby studios with Pro Tools, I'm sure someone could help you out before a session for a very small fee?
