In this workflow, the engineer is not applying EQ, Compression, or other processing in the Pro Tools session. In theory, those processes should be kept in place when sending an AAF to Media Composer. I have not tried this. I think this would only work with MC v6 and later.
The issue with a mixdown (what Pro Tools users would call a bounce) track is that the handles for your edits are gone. So let's say someone's line of dialog is a comp from three different takes. A mixdown (bounce) of that single line of dialog would not contain the handles from the edits used to comp it together.
I realize that solving this particular workflow issue would make MC even more of an audio editor than it is now. I also realize that Pro Tools users are already complaining about people mixing in the Avid. Maybe Avid's long term goal (think 5+ years) is for this kind of feature overlap to exist, if not a merging of everything into a single application. I digress, if only slightly, to say that while I would like to see this type of issue addressed (sample accurate audio editing) that it's probably not an issue everyone encounters.
With your workflow do any of the audio effects that might be applied to a dialogue/Vo track carry properly back into Avid MC?
