Hi Nick,
I have a few questions in regards to your comment about exporting from Final Cut 7, etc. But let me first tell you what I’m doing in brief. My picture is ready and locked in Final Cut 7. I want to take the audio from the project and bring it into Pro Tools for editing, ADR, etc. Then I will bring the finished audio from Pro Tools back into Final Cut 7, sync it with the picture and then export it for DVD, Youtube, etc.

In the comments from this article you listed the steps for doing it as AIFFs. This is great because my files are too Huge to do it as OMFs.

you wrote:
“2 set up the outputs so each track, or pair of tracks, has a dedicated audio output.”
What exactly do you mean by that? I’m not clear as to what a dedicated audio output is.

I also noticed Under audio settings (pic below) you can choose :
Default, Built In, and Pro Tools Aggregate I/O. I’m assuming I should choose Default??

You then wrote:
3 back in the sequence you patch each track to an output by right clicking on or near the lock icon on the left of the timeline.
(this is boring but you really have to double check this as there is no external indication of what tack is patched to what output)
I clicked on audio outputs and made sure 1&2 are selected. Is that what you meant, does this look correct:

Sorry to be so thorough, I just want to be sure. I live by the saying: If you don’t have time to do it right, then you have time to do it twice.”
THANK YOU for any and all of your time, and efforts with this. 🙂
