Support for RF64 Audio Files
Pro Tools 10 supports RF64 audio files. RF64 is
an extension to the WAV audio file format that
addresses the 4 gigabyte size limitation of other
WAV audio file formats.RF64 audio files are
identified in DigiBase browsers with the desig-
nation “MBWF” in the Attributes field.
Changing Session Settings in
the Session Setup Window
With Pro Tools 10, the Session Setup window
lets you change the audio file Bit Depth, Audio
Format, and whether or not files in the session
are multi-mono or interleaved for all newly re-
corded, imported and converted audio files, or
files created by rendering (such as with Audio-
Suite, Elastic Audio, or Consolidate). Since
Pro Tools 10 supports sessions with mixed au-
dio file formats and bit-depths, this is a signifi-
cant change from previous versions of
Pro Tools.
In lower versions of Pro Tools, the Session Setup
window only displayed the
Bit Depth and Audio
Format
settings as specified when the session
was created.
To change the Audio Format for the Pro Tools
session:
1 Choose Setup > Session.
2 In the Session Setup window, select the desired
audio file format (AIF or WAV) from the
Audio
Format
selector.
To change the Bit Depth for the Pro Tools session:
1 Choose Setup > Session.
2 In the Session Setup window, select the desired
bit depth from the
Bit Depth selector.
To enable (or disable) interleaved audio files for
the Pro Tools session:
1 Choose Setup > Session.
2 In the Session Setup window, select (or dese-
lect) the
Interleaved option.
To use these files in a lower version of
Pro Tools or in Media Composer, these files
need to be edited and consolidated so that
they are not larger than 4 GB.
