Opening a Session
When you open a session, Pro Tools looks in the
session folder for audio and fade files linked to
the session.
To open an existing session:
1 Choose File > Open Session.
2 Locate the session you want to open and click
Open.
Opening a Session that Contains
Unavailable Files
(Pro Tools 6.x Only)
With Pro Tools 6.x, the DigiBase feature will
prompt you if files are located but reside on
Transfer volumes (such as CD-ROMs), or if any
required files cannot be found. See “Locating
Audio Files” on page 129 for more details.
Opening a Session that Contains
Unavailable Resources
Pro Tools prompts you when opening a session
that contains unavailable voices, I/O paths, DSP
resources, or plug-ins. This is common when
transferring sessions to systems with different
Digidesign hardware.
The dialog contains a summary of the missing
session components. To save a text file contain-
ing a more detailed report, along with the result-
ing action, click Yes.
The following will occur when opening a ses-
sion with unavailable items:
With all Pro Tools Systems:
◆ Inserts assigned to unavailable plug-ins are
made inactive.
◆ Inputs, outputs, and sends that are assigned to
unavailable paths are made inactive.
With Pro Tools TDM systems only:
◆ Any tracks beyond the maximum number of
available voices on the current system are made
inactive.
