I'm looking for guidance on transferring tracks from Protools to Cubase. The only way I know how is to start each track at the same marker, tracks panned to center, unity gain and bounce to a 24/44.1 wave file(or whatever the remix person wants) from ProTools to CD tracks and then upload the individual files to Cubase. The recording engineer is not liking the idea of bouncing all of the tracks for the remix at a different studio.
Is there a less time consuming method of achieving this?
Suggestions????

I'm sure there is...got to be...PT uses Broadcast WAV now, doesn't it? You can just suck those into Cubase. Has there been a lot of editing done in PT?

Highlight all of the track (include edits) and under file I believe (been awhile for me) look for "track consolidation." It'll ask you what format you want to bounce to (or confirm.again been awile) and bounce all your highlighted tracks down to .wav, all in time and easy to import into any other DAW.

What I CAN help with is the Cubase import...do File>Import>audio File. Pick the whole lot of them...choose "seperate tracks" and NOT "split interleaved files"...then, once they're all in the project, highlight them ALL at once, right click and select "move to origin", which will place each at it's respective timestamp.

Thanks for the tip Pop, I'm unsure of the amount of editing done. I'm going to be remixing a Band for a friend. The recording was all done on a Pro Tools HD System at the University of S.D. I was amazed at the amount of gear they have there for the students. Lot's of Top shelf stuff.
As I've been reading I found a feature in Cubase that I have yet to attempt. It's called the "Bounce Audio Feature" Have you worked with this yet?

I rad up on it...kinda cool. I'd always used the other entry in the index- "bounce: (export audio)"...which looks like it does the same thing PLUS applies whatever channel fader/plug in/etc to it. Not something you always want to do...thanks for pointing out the potential way to handle it just to consolidate/export edited tracks.

Terminology is funny. In Logic, "Bounce Audio" is like "Export Mix" in Nuendo / Cubase No idea why Logic chose that phrase. The first time I had to try a mix out of Logic, I was pretty flustered until I finally read that that's their term.
