exporting audio out of cakewalk homestudio 2k4xl

[trez260]

here's a problem i've ran into for the 2nd time and i'm not sure why. i had two cats who asked for beats. advised by one that he need'em to be in .wav format. so when i went to export the audio i had two different wav format, RIFF and broadcast. i select RIFF burned'em to a disc and sent'em to him. same situation for the 2nd only that i sent him the track online, in the same RIFF wav format. but they had trouble with gettin the file to play. they said that it contained no audio. with the understanding that wav is the best format to have a track in. what type of wav format do i use??

Hey,

Are you burning the files as DATA or as AUDIO?

Their softwares should be able to read both RIFF and broadcast WAV files, it sounds like they're trying to open the little .cda links from an audio disc that you made for them...this is a problem, as a .cda file is nothing more than a pointer to a spot on a big PCM file.

Take care,

Nick

Hey,

1. Are you able to open the files after you burn them?
2. What software are they trying to open the files with?

Take care,

Nick

Burn the cds as audio.
Protools file format is different from cakewalk.
See if you gave him the beat in data form it would have to be a .omf file to be opened in protools. Cake walk ( to my knowledge) can't export omf files. The only cake walk software that can ( I believe) is sonar 3 producers edition ( man I gotta get that )
Ur best bet un this situation and in general is to burn the cd's as audio cd's . That way peeple can just import the audio into whatever program with no problem.

(If any of the above is wrong some please correct me as I don't use protools, but have a lil knowledge of it.)
