sample rate, audio files are converted to the new
session sample rate, and copied to the specified
location.

Fader Gain

When saving a Pro Tools 7.x or higher session to
a lower version of Pro Tools that supports +6 dB
and +12 dB fader gain, you can save the new ses-
sion with either a +6 dB or a +12 dB maximum
fader gain. When saving a +12 dB session as a
+6 dB session, Pro Tools alerts you that any au-
tomation settings over +6 dB will be lowered to
+6 dB.

Enforce Mac/PC Compatibility

When saving a Pro Tools 7.x or higher session to
a lower version of Pro Tools, enable the Enforce
Mac/PC Compatibility

option to force Windows or

Mac versions of Pro Tools to create sessions and
audio files that are compatible on both plat-
forms.

session format, you can choose to limit the char-
acter set to a single language by selecting the
Limit Character Set

option.

When saving a copy of a session to a lower ses-
sion format, the Limit Character Set option is au-
tomatically selected. Select a language from the

Items to Copy

All Audio Files

When this option is selected, all audio files are
copied to the new location.

This setting is automatically selected if you
change the bit depth or sample rate of the
session.

All “Non-Native” Audio Files

The name of this option varies depending on
the audio file type you select. If you change the
audio file type of the session, this option ensures
that all files in the copied session are converted
to the selected file type. Use this option to avoid
the reduced performance of a session with
mixed file types.

This option is automatically selected if you do
any of the following:

• Change bit depth or sample rate.

• Copy a session on the Mac from SD II for-

mat to AIFF or BWF (.WAV) format.

• Select Enforce Mac/PC Compatibility.

Don’t Copy Fade Files

When this option is selected, Fade Files are not
copied to the new session Fade Files folder.

Pro Tools opens the copied session with all avail-
able media and any missing Fades are regener-
ated automatically.

Mac Sessions to be Compatible with Win-
dows” on page 314.
