Note: Full functionality of DTDM requires that the ESB inputs must be actively chosen in DAE Aux Objects. Chapter 3 ESB TDM and EXS24 TDM 27 4 Audio Export and Import 4 Logic has the ability to export and import song contents using the OMF and AAF file formats. Typically, the OMF (Open Media Framework, also known as OMFI--Open Media Framework Interchange) or AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) formats are used for data exchange with Digidesign ProTools software. The OMF file format only support the exchange of audio data (audio media and the usage of this audio media in a project)-- MIDI and automation data will simply be ignored when using the export functions. OMF Export To export the current song as an OMF file, select File > Export > Export Song as OMF File. This will launch a dialog that displays the following options: OMF File Version This allows you to export the file in OMF Version 1 or Version 2 format. Version 1 is only useful for backwards compatibility with older software versions. Include Audio If this box is checked, all exported audio files will be integrated into the OMF file itself. Note: Although this can result in a very large file, and can make file export times lengthy, we recommend to activate this option. If unchecked, only file references are written to the OMF file. If this method is used and you wish to copy the OMF file to another hard disk, you need to ensure that all referenced audio files are also copied. Convert interleaved to split stereo As some applications don't support interleaved stereo files, Logic can convert interleaved stereo files to split stereo (useful when exporting an OMF file for a ProTools session, for example). Check this box if this is the desired behavior. Note that this only works if the Include Audio option is checked (recommended). 29 Pan tracks If this box is checked, Logic adds information to the OMF file which sets the panning of the exported tracks as they appear in Logic itself (Stereo tracks in Universal Track Mode are exported as two mono tracks. Assuming this option is checked, the left mono track is panned to the left and the right one, to the right). Warning: This does not work with OMF Tool or DigiTranslator. Don't check this box if you are using OMF Tool to convert the OMF file into a ProTools session, as it is unsupported by OMF Tool. Convert 24 bit files to 16 bit This setting converts all 24 bit files to 16 bit using the Dithering type described below. This might be necessary when using older versions of ProTools. Dithering Type When exporting 24 bit recordings into 16 bit files and the audio files are included in the OMF file, dithering is recommended. Executing Export After pressing the OK button, a file dialog allows you to specify the destination folder of the OMF file to be generated. If you have checked the Include Audio option, Logic will display a progress bar for each exported audio file. OMF Import The File > Import menu option will open a file selector, which allows you to choose OMF files. After selecting a file, a further dialog allows you to choose the location for the audio data extracted from the OMF file. [. . . ] Solo tool Click-holding on individual Regions or events with the Solo tool temporarily allows them to be heard in isolation. song Main Logic file, containing all MIDI events and parameter settings (including mixer automation data) plus information about the audio files to be played. stereo Short for stereophonic sound reproduction of two different audio channels. synthesizer A device (hardware or software) that is used to generate sounds.
