Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 1013)

Set the start time of first imported event to start of project?
If you choose Set, the first audio part imported is placed precisely at the project start
position.
This solves the problem of the project on the Tascam machine starting at a large time
value, but less than one hour (such as 59 minutes). In this situation, you can’t immediately
see the imported audio parts because they may be imported beyond the project’s end
point, and almost certainly outside the visible window area.
Working with AAF Files
AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) is used by other DAW applications such as Pro Tools.
You can use it to import multiple audio tracks, inclusive of references to tracks, time
positions, and volume automation.
To export the current project as an AAF file
1 Choose File > Export > Project as AAF File (or use the Export Project as AAF File key
command).
2 In the Save AAF File As dialog, choose the following pop-up menu options:
• Sample Rate: Choose 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz.
• Bit Depth: Choose either 16 or 24 bit.
• File Format: Choose WAVE or AIFF.
• Dither Type: Choose None or any of the four dither algorithms (see Bouncing and
Dithering ).
3 Choose a location, enter a name for the file, then click OK.
The export includes all used regions, inclusive of track and position references, and volume
automation.
