How to Save a ProTools Session for a Mix Engineer

Even the Way You Save Your Sessions Can Help a Great Deal When Sending Out to be Mixed.

I figured I post this so everyone who reads my blog can know the best way to save their ProTools Sessions when sending out to mix. Not only will it guarantee all the session files are intact and plugins but it will be smaller in size...

• Go to ‘File’ and click 'Save Session Copy In…’
• Session Format: ‘Latest’
• Audio File Type: ‘BWF/.WAV’ 
• Sample Rate: Same as current
• Bit Depth: 24
• Make sure to Check ‘copy all audio files’
• Check “Session Plug-In Settings Folder’ and Root Plug-In Settings Folder
• Save session
• Then zip the the folder or “compress” (mac)

Hope this helps!
