VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I have a client who wants my current wav files re-formatted into flac. I currently use ProTools on my MacPro. I am thinking of downloading Audacity to take my wav files and reformat that way. Think PT and Audacity can live happily together on my computer? I try to leave my studio computer as uncluttered with unnecessary software as I can, so I am hesitant.

I'd approach this a slightly different way. Audacity is a fine general purpose audio recording/manipulation program which serves a lot of people really well... but if you really want to keep things as simple as possible, then it may be a better idea to just have a simple, single purpose file converter that will take your wav (or aiff) and convert (either individually or in batch mode) to the required FLAC. I use Audial Hub which is a multi format audio file converter. I'm not sure that it's supported any more, so I took a look at the other possibilities and came across a program called FLACer /mac/16458/flacer" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://www.macupdate.com/a Hobo Tounge

/mac/16458/flacer.

It's free, simple and easy (just select best or fast compression). I've tested it on Snow Leopard, and it seems to work just fine... just open it up and drag'n'drop.

bish may have the better answer, but i've had audacity on my computers along with adobe audition as a backup, and have never noticed a conflict.
