Chapter 3: File Menu
File menu commands are used to create and
maintain Pro Tools sessions.
New Session
The New Session command creates a new
Pro Tools session. You can choose to either cre-
ate a session from a template (
Create Session
From Template
) or create a blank session (Create
Blank Session
).
If you choose to create a new session from a tem-
plate, the available templates appear in the Ses-
sion Template List.
Before the session is created, you must also
name the session and choose its
Audio File Type,
Sample Rate, Bit Depth, and I/O Settings in the
New Session dialog.
Open Session
The Open command opens a session previously
created with Pro Tools. Only one session can be
open at a time.
Open Recent
The Open Recent command lets you open any of
the 10 most recently opened Pro Tools session.
It also provides a Clear command to remove all
sessions from the list.
Close Session
The Close command closes the current session
without quitting Pro Tools. Pro Tools prompts
you to save changes before closing the session.
Save
The Save command saves changes made since
the last time the session was saved. You cannot
undo the Save command.
Save As
The Save As command lets you save a copy of
the current session under a different name, or in
a different location. Because the Save As com-
mand closes the current session and allows you
to keep working on the renamed copy, it is use-
ful for saving successive stages of the session.
