Creating New Sessions from
Templates
You can create new session from templates by
opening a template. You can open any Pro Tools
Session Template file (.ptt) to start a new session
based on that template.
To open a Pro Tools Session Template and save it
as a new session:
1 Choose File > Open, navigate to the Session
Template file you want and open it.
2 In the New Session From dialog, select the Au-
dio File Type , Sample Rate, and Bit Depth for the
new session that will be created from the tem-
plate.
3 Click OK.
4 In the Save New Session As dialog, navigate to
the location where you want to save the new
session and click Save.
Closing a Session
Pro Tools only lets you work on just one session
at a time. The Close Session command closes
your current Pro Tools session but leaves the
Pro Tools application running. Pro Tools
prompts you to save a session when closing it,
but it is recommended that you save your work
using the Save or Save As command before clos-
ing a session regardless.
To close a session:
„
Choose File > Close Session.
Exiting or Quitting Pro Tools
When you exit (Windows) or quit (Mac) the
Pro Tools application, Pro Tools prompts you to
save any open session before exiting or closing
the application.
To exit Pro Tools in Windows:
„ Choose File > Exit.
To quit Pro Tools on the Mac:
