***please note: The most efficient way to transfer digital files between recording platforms is via the Broadcast Wav Files (BWF) format. The BWF file format allows for an extra file extension of metadata, allowing audio processing elements to identify themselves, document their activities, and permit time & session placement synchronization with other recordings. This metadata is stored as an extension chunk in an otherwise standard digital audio WAV file. BWF is now the audio format of choice between motion picture, recording studios and television production. You are welcome to bring your consolidated files to us on either a standard ISO 9660 CDR/DVDr or an external USB2 hard drive.***
