Hello all Pro Tools experts!

Is there a fast way - destructive and without the need to bounce - to edit
an inported wave file.
Ddesired edits are truncating beginnings/ends and normalizing.

The goal should be editing, saving the sission and grabbing the modified
original wave file via Finder.

In the past I did this with another app on a Windows machine and want to do
it on my Mac now.
Especially with Pro Tools.

Thank you and best! / Martin

Hi Martin. To my knowledge this is not possible with protools or any other multi track based daw. you will need a two track editor like Sound forge for mac. There is another one called twisted wav that works with mac. i think audacity might do this too and it works with mac. How ever I don’t use audacity, so not sure about this.

You can indeed do this with pro tools. Once all the edits are done just consolidate the file and you should be able to grab the modified file out of the session folder in finder.

Hello OreoMonster!

That sounds very promising and could do the job.
I'll let you know...

I do this all the time as well, how do you consolidate the file?

Select the track and range and press Option+Shift+3 on the numbers row to consolidate.
