ok send him an .ogg file then.

Mister Smart,
I don't know why he wants vorbis, but he's the client, not me. If
he's paying me to do this for him, then don't you think he gets the
right to choose how he gets the file? No offense. I totally agree
with what you're saying, don't get me wrong, so no need for you to
get all smart alak with me. I'm just trying to adhere to his
request. Why he wants it in vorbis, I'll never know either, but he
does and is paying me to do it as he requested, and that's what
matters. If someone wanted a low end ford instead of a lamberguini
are you gonna try to sell them the lamborguini when that isn't the
car they want, just because it's higher quality? If it isn't what
the client wants/needs then yes, one can recommend a better
sollution, but there comes a point where the customer has to be
right. Would I personally do it in vorbis? No. I wouldn't, but
it's obviously what he wants, and I have to make a living, so
telling him to go elseware wouldn't be professional of me...
especially when I know I can get the resources to do what he's
asking. I'm sorry for snapping earlier, but ethicly speaking, do
you not think that he has the right to request something be done as
he sees fit? This is why I asked in the first place, as I don't
know much about recording in that format on the mac side of
things. If it were Windows, it would be a different story, hell,
even if it were Linux, it would be another story, but it's
not. Therefore, I asked here as I was hoping! that this list would
be a good resource to get some info. Instead however, I feel
belittled like my question isn't even worth answerring. Don't give
me the we did answer did we not? No! You really technically
didn't. Instead, you just bickerred about how it's not a good
idea. OK, duh! I get that! I know it's not. I've already covered
the fact that I agree 100%, but again, it's not my decision. This
is what the client wants, and seeing he's my client, it's therefore
my responsibility as an engineer to meet, if not exceed his
expectations of satisfaction. This isn't open for debate.
Kevin, thank you for the suggestions of Switch. I'd totally
forgotten about that gem. I'll definitely try using that to see if
I can convert it, as I do have a license for the app that I bought
about half a year ago. I don't hardly ever use it, I'll admit, but
I do have it laying around, now that you mention it.
Consider this thread closed. I don't want any more crap about
it. It's obvious that everyone elses work ethical policies are
different from mine. I feel it's best to satisfy the customer. You
all obviously feel it's best to give quality even if it's not what
has been required. Though I disagree with this approach
tremendously, I'm gonna let dead dogs lie. I'm willing to agree to disagree.
Chris.

LOL why'd you ask our opinions then?
First you say he's nuts about sound quality, then you ask about
compressed lossy formats. Why?
if he wants high quality audio, send him high quality audio! (wav,
flac, alac etc.)

Chris,
I'm not the one who makes the rules. This guy is paying me for
the final project, so frankly, I think he therefore gets a little
say in the matter, doesn't he?

5 minutes of 16-bit 44.1K stereo wav is only 50.5 MB in size.
Even 5 minutes of 24-bit 48K stereo is 82.4 MB.
Neither of you have the bandwidth to transfer that much?
Even 24.192 is only going to take up about 330 MB.
Convert it to FLAC and you'll save approximately half the space,
with absolutely no reduction in quality.

So, I have a session fully recorded that a friend wants to hear
really really badly. I have no problem at all sharing it with
him, but he's very very picky about his audio listenning. He
wants the file in ogg vorbis. I don't think PT 11.2 can bouncve
into vorbis, can it? If not, are there any good Voiceover
friendly tools you all could suggest that would let me just
bounce it as an uncompressed wave, then turn around and convert
it to an ogg file?
