Copying warped WAV files from PC to MAC

Post by James Talk » Thu May 05, 2005 9:01 am

Hi guys,

im using ableton on a PC, my friend is using it on a MAC.

We are looking to do an ableton live set synced up together going b2b.

ive warped about 200 tracks on my laptop so far, and he has warped some too, we want to be able to swap warped files with each other so we dont have to warp the same tracks twice.

ive tried copying pc-pc with the WAV file and the ableton attatchement and it works fine.

but when i copy it to a mac it no longer recognised the ableton attatchment with it, and when u open the wav in ableton the warp makers have gone.

anyway around this?

thanks

can your mac deal with a wav file on its own? (some just like aiff files)?

I'd try saving an actual ableton set as "self contained", and then try sharing the whole set with the mac. I think that might work better than transferring individual wavs and warp files alone.

i've worked on mac and pc with no probs with sharing files or .asds

check that on both machines the actual name (with the .wav or .aiff) is displayed correctly (on pc look in a dos window or on mac have a look in the terminal)

it could be something silly like file.wav on one machine is really file.wav.wav meaning the .asd won't match up.
