Turning off embedded data

When I bounce a mix to disk, there is embedded data that goes with it,(proprietary PT data) that keeps it from being able to be written or read as a .wav file in some other applications. For instance, I can't open the wav in media player. I can't burn an audio CD either. I can open the file in Soundforge and resave it without this data, and that has been my workaround thus far, however inelegant. Can this data be excluded from the mixdown? How would I do this?

The way you are doing it IS the work around and the only way to get rid of it. I have heard that if you bounce to aiff, then it will burn fine. citi

Jeeeeesus! What a pain in the ass. Thanks for the reply though. I can't believe they don't provide a way to export without it.

I can deal with going through another editor (to a point) I just hate and I mean HATE real time bouncing. It is a waste of time. There should be a quicker process like other apps have. citi

by the way...do people sometimes assume you are the snowboarder?

I agree. Why do they do that anyway? Is it to enable realtime mix automation?

Yes they do mistake us. In fact I've even gotten emails intended for her. I'm a guy though. And I can't snowboard for **** .

I believe so but am not entirely sure. I believe at one time, they had a quick bounce but did away with it for some unknown reason.

Any decent audio application will disregard any unknown data in the wave header. Media player simply doesn't support 24-bit files. I have never had a problem opening 16-bit waves from PT in any application. Cheers, Marcus
