Saving for Windows

Post by smartabletonuser » Sun Dec 04, 2005 11:24 pm

If I save a self-contained session on my Mac and all the audio is .aif, will a PC user be able to open it?

Or do I have to make them all .wav?

also, if your set contains plugins, be sure to write down the valus of the parameters. i'm pretty sure the ableton plugs will have the correct values, but vst stuff is not reliable. so, be sure to render tracks that have vsts (obviously, AU containing tracks too). i ported lots of tracks from pc to mac about a year ago, only to find that all of the tracks containg fish fillets plugs were silent, most other tracks containing vsts, claiming to be cross platform, sounded different.

it it's just audio clips... no problem at all.
