Hey guys and gals. I did some searching but couldn't find anything on this topic so here goes:
My band has just finished up recording our album using Pro Tools on a Mac. However, none of us actually owns a Mac (the producer we used does). Is there any way we can convert the Pro Tools files of our recordings so that they can be opened (and possibly tweaked) on a PC?
Thanks so much!!!!

Just save all the individual tracks on the MAC as WAV files. Transfer them to the PC and remix. Simple.

That simple huh? Cool. Just convert them to Wav format. I dont think Ill be able to put them onto my External Hard drive (to transport them from the studio to our home computers) because the hard drive is formatted for a PC. So can I just put them on a disk or something like that? How will I transport them?
