Apart from that, just use WAV or AIF, whichever you prefer. You will get more metadata more easily into an AIF, though, which will stay with the file when you convert to mp3, which is why I stick to AIF for all my master files. You can easily convert to WAV or MP3 if needed for submitting etc. Hope this helps.Gary
Thanks Gary!
I have tunes in multiple libraries and every one of them has a different Spec/Deliverables Sheet
For me, these guys are the first to ask for .aif files
Here is how it is worded in the spec sheet:
The Library wrote:1. 48k, 16-bit, .aif Only one f in aif.
It's that "Only one F..." that threw me!
Due to my inexperience I was afraid that the AIFF option in Cubase was the wrong option or else why would they specify?!? :oops:
Dan Luedke and I are working out the stems/bumps/stingers for a batch of tunes for them and I didn't want to hand them a plate full of rookie mistakes! :P
Thanks Again!
Cass
Yeee-up; some clever fella must have 'fixed' ".aif" while renaming the file. Bless his heart. :roll: :roll: :roll:
