Opening a Session that Contains Unavailable Resources

Pro Tools prompts you when opening a session that contains unavailable voices, I/O paths, DSP resources, or plug-ins. This is common when transferring sessions between systems with different Pro Tools hardware.

The Unavailable Resources dialog provides an initial report of the missing session components. To save a text (.txt) file containing a more detailed Notes report, along with the resulting action, click Yes. The Notes report is named with the session name, followed by Notes.txt. You can choose to save this file in your Session folder, or in another location.

The following occurs when opening a session with unavailable items:

With all Pro Tools Systems:

Inserts assigned to unavailable plug-ins are made inactive.

Inputs, outputs, and sends that are assigned to unavailable paths are made inactive.

With Avid HDX or Pro Tools|HD Systems Only:

Any tracks beyond the maximum number of available voices on the current system are made inactive.

With Pro Tools Host-based Systems Only:

Any tracks beyond the maximum number of available voices on the current system are set to voice off.
