When you open a session, Pro Tools looks in the session folder for audio and fade files linked to the session.

For more information on opening sessions created on different platforms, Pro Tools systems, or versions of Pro Tools software, see File and Session Management and Compatibility.

To open an existing session:

1 Choose File > Open Session.

2 Locate the session you want to open and click Open.

You can also open a session from a DigiBase browser by double-clicking it.

Sound Designer II (SD II) files are not supported with versions of Pro Tools higher than 8.0.3. When opening a session created with a lower version of Pro Tools that uses the SD II file format, you are prompted to convert all SD II files to WAV.
