Sharing Sessions Created on
Different Pro Tools Systems
Pro Tools makes it easy to share sessions be-
tween Pro Tools|HD systems and Pro Tools LE
systems. There are some important differences
between the three types of systems that can af-
fect how session material is transferred.
The following table also includes Pro Tools LE
systems with the DV Toolkit 2 option, as well as
Pro Tools LE systems with the Music Production
Toolkit option.
Pro Tools can convert a file created on a
Mac and saved without the “Enforce
Mac/PC compatibility” option selected to a
Windows compatible file. For more infor-
mation, see “Sharing Sessions Created on
Different Computer Platforms” on
page 244.
For details on transferring sessions between
Windows and Mac systems, see “Sharing
Sessions Created on Different Computer
Platforms” on page 244.
