Saving Sessions

 

As you build a session by adding tracks and 
changing session parameters, you will want to 
save your work. Pro  Tools provides three ways to 
save sessions, with each providing a different set 
of options. 

Saving sessions is most often performed for data 
security, archiving, and in preparation for trans-
ferring projects. In addition, session files can be 
saved in order to perform sample rate conver-
sion, or even to create session templates. Session 
templates are Pro Tools sessions that have 
tracks, routing, plug-ins, or any other parame-
ters predefined. 

 

To save a session:

 

■

 

Choose File > Save Session, Save Session As, or 

Save Session Copy In.
