Creating and Configuring a Pro Tools Session
From the Quick Start dialog box, you can begin a new recording project
either by selecting CREATE SESSION FROM TEMPLATE and choosing a session
template from the list or by selecting CREATE BLANK SESSION. As discussed
in Lesson 2, creating a session sets up a standard hierarchy of folders for the
session and its associated files. The characteristics of your recording will be
determined by the session parameter settings. To specify these settings, click
the SESSION PARAMETERS reveal button in the Quick Start dialog box. The
dialog box will expand to display configurable audio and I/O parameters.
Pro Tools Session Templates
The Pro Tools installer disc includes factory session templates that are
preconfigured with common track and mixer setups. You can use these
templates and/or create your own to avoid having to configure your studio
setup from scratch every time you start a new session.
