Opening the Music Project
In this section of the hands-on project, you will open the project and prepare
your session for the work you will be doing.
The session you will use for this project was saved in a special format
called a session template. When you open the session template, Pro Tools
will create a new session based on the template, leaving the original
template file unchanged. All existing tracks and audio files used in the
template file will be duplicated in your new session.
Locate and Open the Session Template
Pro Tools provides a number of ways to open a session or session template.
You can navigate to the session folder in your computer’s Explorer or Finder
window and double-click on the session or template file to open it. You can
also locate and open the session or template file from the Workspace
browser.
Locate and open the Music session template:
1. If the Pro Tools Quick Start dialog box is displayed, click the CANCEL
button to dismiss it.
2. From the desktop, navigate to your copy of the session template using an
Explorer window (Windows) or a Finder window (Mac). The template
file is named Music Project PT11.ptxt.
Or
Locate the session template using the Workspace browser inside of Pro
Tools:
a. Choose WINDOW > NEW WORKSPACE.
b. Click the ADVANCED SEARCH button (next to the magnifying glass) to
display the advanced search settings.
