Closing a Session
Because Pro Tools allows you to work on
just one session at a time, you must close
the current session if you want to work on
another. The Close Session command
closes your current Pro Tools session but
leaves the Pro Tools application open. You
can save your work using the Save Session
or Save Session As command before closing
the current session.
To close a session:
■ Choose File > Close Session.
Quitting a Session
Although Pro Tools will warn you before
allowing you to quit without saving
changes, you should generally save your
work before quitting.
To Quit a Session:
■ Choose File > Quit (Macintosh) or File >
Exit (Windows).
Sharing Sessions between
Pro Tools TDM Systems and
Pro Tools LE Systems
Pro Tools makes it easy to share sessions
between Pro Tools LE and TDM-equipped
systems. There are some important differ-
ences between the two types of systems
that can affect how session material is
transferred.
If you transfer a session from a TDM-
equipped Pro Tools system to a
Pro Tools LE-based system, any tracks, bus-
ses, or I/O Assignments that exceed the
limits of the Pro Tools LE system will be
lost. Any TDM Plug-Ins that do not have
Real-Time AudioSuite (RTAS) equivalents
will also be lost.
