Ableton 11 WAV export files incompatible with Tracktion Waveform

Post by NunyaBidness » Sun Jun 04, 2023 4:06 pm

Hello,

I'm collaborating with someone on a track where I took his original recording, imported it into Ableton Live 11 Suite and added backing instrumentation. I exported the Ableton track as a WAV file and sent to him. He was going to do some further editing in Tracktion Waveform with the WAV export I sent him. He can render the song (and separate tracks as stems) from Tracktion, but it won't allow him to save it as a project file. He hasn't had this kind of error with saving before, to my understanding. His thinking is there might be some metadata on the WAV file I sent him which causes incompatibility issues.

These were the export settings I used:

Does anyone have any ideas of what cross-DAW application issues could arise from a WAV file? The WAV files will play in each program I've tried (Ableton, Audacity, Windows Media Player), so not sure what the issue is.

Never heard of this before, and your settings look fine. They should contact Mackie support since this is happening with Traktion.
