Leo Bittencourt 2 Posted October 11, 2022 It wouldn't be more honest to make it clear that Cakewalk does not guarantee to export OMF and users can suffer and lose hours until they find out that they should work with another D.A.W. ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitflipper 2,887 Posted October 12, 2022 Could you maybe expand on your specific problem? Yes, OMF support in Cakewalk does have some limitations, as does every DAW other than ProTools, where it is a native feature. This is not a secret. AFAIK users (albeit a small subset of Cakewalk users that need it) have been successfully transferring projects out of Cakewalk for years via OMF, even though it's been considered a dead protocol for awhile. I'd agree that if you regularly transfer projects to ProTools, then you should probably be working in ProTools. But if you try other DAWs to see if they suit your needs better, I'd suggest a small test project rather than investing hours creating a full project. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azslow3 317 Posted October 12, 2022 Also after ReaCWP (free) you can use AATransplator (payed). Sure, clear understanding what can be transferred and what is not is still required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my case, I always liked working with Cakewalk more but sometimes I need to deliver projects to be finished in protools, other times to be edited in logic, Nuendo, etc... I've had successful experiences of exporting OMF on the old Sonar. I've already decided to take your advice to create and commake in another DAW, but at the moment, I need to try to export 6 25-minute episodes of an animated series. All episodes have been approved by the project direction and just need to deliver to the team that will finalize the assembly, sound designer, etc. If there's no hicthing, I'll have to reassemble everything in Logic or protools. About specifying my problem : I have tried many different settings OMF1,OMF2, Split stereo, Aiff, Wave, etc.. and i always get error information. Strange these errors are not mentioned on the official pages of CAkewalk Some of the many error messages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutrageProductions 43 Posted October 14, 2022 Try exporting without latin characters in the file path. I've had numerous issues with carat, acute, tilde, dieresis and other diacriticals in OMF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
