I have a mix project that just came in in DP. I need to bounce each track
from the same starting point to import into Paris for mixing. Is there an
easy way to do this? i have DP v.5, but I've mostly only used it for MIDI!

Thanks,

Can you not perform an "export to OMF" & then import that into Paris?

Gantt,

The best way I've found to do this is to open the sequence editor, select a
point past the end of the song on the timeline, arm all tracks and record a
few seconds of silence. Select all those silent "soundbites" and drag them
to very beginning of the timeline. Now select all of the soundbites in the
project. Go to the "Audio" menu dropdown and select "merge soundbites" (I
think that's it anyway). Now you should have all of the tracks starting at
zero. There may an easier way, but I haven't found it yet. I got spoiled by
the "render tracks" command in PARIS, as it inserts the silence back to zero
for you automatically. Anyway, hope this helps.

Tony

I haven�t had the best luck with Paris OMF.

I have a small audio file of a pulse that I drop at the top of all tracks
befor transfer at 1/1/00.) This establishes a 1/1/00 point and allows visual
alignment later if needed.)
Then I select all tracks and do a Merger Soundbites from the Audio menu.
Then from the soundbites menu I view by date, select all the merged files
and do an �Export Selected Bytes� to a folder. This makes individual wave
files � I batch process through WaveLab to make Paris happy with the files.

It sounds like a lot, but the entire process for a large song only takes
a minute or so on a fast computer.
