Creating Mac Templates
On the Mac, create a session template by saving
a session file as a Stationery Pad document. Once
a session is saved as a Stationery Pad, it acts as a
template that you can open and then resave as a
normal Pro Tools session.
To create a custom session template on the Mac:
1 Create a session and arrange its elements as
you want them to appear in the template. In ad-
dition to track setup, you can also define ele-
ments such as signal routing, insert and send
configurations, Mix and Edit window views,
ruler settings, and Preference settings.
2 Choose File > Save As.
3 Name the session and click Save.
4 Close the session.
5 In the Mac Finder, locate the session file that
you just saved.
6 Click once on the file to select it.
7 Choose File > Get Info.
8 If necessary, click the General expand/collapse
triangle to display the General information and
options.
