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, use the
Save As command. The Save As command closes
the current session and lets you keep working on
the renamed copy. This is useful if you are experi-
menting 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 As command saves a new
version of the session file only, and does not dupli-
cate versions of the audio or fade files.
To save a session with a new name:
1 Choose File > Save As.
2 Type a new name for your session.
3 Click Save.
The renamed session file is saved in the session
folder along with the original session (unless you
specify a different destination). Any new audio
files that you record in your renamed session will
be placed into the same Audio Files folder that was
created for your original session.
Save Copy In
To save a copy of the current session or project,
use the
Save Copy In command. In addition, you
can specify the session or project file format, audio
file format, bit depth, and sample rate for the copy.
To save a session or project copy as new session
or project:
1 Choose File > Save Copy In.
2 Specify the Format for the copy, such as Ses-
sion (Latest)
.
3 Set the audio File Type for the copy: BWF
(.WAV) or AIFF.
4 Set the Sample Rate and Bit Depth for the copy.
5 If applicable, select a Fader Gain level for the
copy.
Press Command+Control+S (Mac) or
Control+Start+S (Windows) for the Save
As command.
For information on sharing sessions between
different platforms, Pro Tools systems, or
Pro Tools software versions, see Chapter 21,
“File and Session Management and Compati-
bility.”
