Selecting Fader Gain when
Opening a Previously Recorded
Session
When opening a session created in a previous
version of Pro Tools, you are given the choice of
staying at +6 dB or updating to +12 dB.
When opening a session created in the current
version of Pro Tools, the session is opened with
your previously saved fader gain settings.
Opening a +12 dB session in a previous version of
Pro Tools Sessions created and saved with a
+12 dB fader gain level can be opened in previ-
ous versions of Pro Tools. Breakpoints for vol-
ume automation above +6 dB will be lowered to
+6 dB.
Saving a Session
You should save regularly while working on
your session to ensure that your work is pre-
served on your hard drive.
Saving the Session File
The Save Session command saves the changes
you have made to your session and writes them
over the previously saved version of the session
file. The Save Session command cannot be un-
done.
To save a session:
■ Choose File > Save Session.
Revert to Saved Command
If you have made changes to a session since you
last saved it, you can discard the changes and re-
vert to its previously saved state.
To revert to the last saved version of a session:
■ Choose File > Revert to Saved.
Saving the Session File with a
New Name
To save a copy of the current session with a new
name or to a different hard drive location, you
can use the Save Session As command. Because
the Save Session As command closes the current
session and lets you keep working on the re-
named copy, it is useful if you are experiment-
ing and want to save successive versions of the
session.
By working this way, you can quickly retrace
your steps if you want to go back to an earlier
version of your session. The Save Session As
command saves a new version of the session file
only—not duplicate versions of the audio or
fade files.
To save a session with a new name:
1 Choose File > Save Session As.
2 Enter a new name for your session.
3 Click Save.
The renamed session file is saved in the session
folder along with the original session. Any new
audio files that you record in your renamed ses-
sion will be placed into the same Audio Files
folder that was created for your original session.
