Regardless of whether I was handing off my work to another studio, or simply working on my own productions, in most cases the material I work on can get pretty complex with respect to tempo changes and time-signature changes, so I really don't want to have to repeat that work, or hand someone else a session where they have no clue what's what.

Using MIDI Files To 'Carry' The InformationĪs someone who has spent a great deal of time collaborating with various other engineer's and studio's, one thing I got into the habit of doing long ago is using MIDI files to carry over information that I wanted to translate to another DAW. BUT - if you have spent a great deal of time adding various Markers with specific names, and detailed tempo changes, it would be a shame to have to re-do them. Just recreate your markers manually, and it's not a big deal. If you have a basic song, in 4-4 - at 120 BPM, this isn't really a huge issue. Now first off, let me just state the obvious.

So no need to consolidate files and find out down the line that you (or someone else) missed a bad edit.īut as you may or may not have noticed - one BIG thing that did not get translated during the process is your Markers, Tempo-Map, and any time signature changes! Tempo Maps, Time-Signature Changes & Markers The benefit here of course being that we still have access to our original edit boundaries. If you did happen to catch the first video, you'll recall me saying that having the audio come over via AAF is great, as it allows us to essentially pick up from where we left off in Pro Tools. Picking up from where we left off in last week's video, I thought it would be good to do a 'Part 2' with respect to AAF work-flow that talks about how to go about getting any additional information carried over from a Pro Tools Session into your Studio One Version 4 song.
