Sessions & Tracks : File and Session Management and Compatibility : Sharing Sessions Created on Different Computer Platforms : Recording and Playback from HFS+ Drives on Windows
Recording and Playback from HFS+ Drives on Windows
Windows supports recording and playback of sessions directly from Mac-formatted (HFS+) drives using either the HFS+ Disk Support option or the MacDrive software application.
*
In older versions of Pro Tools, Mac-formatted HFS+ drives could only be used as Transfer volumes when connected to Windows systems using MacDrive.
When using either the HFS+ Disk Support option or MacDrive for recording and playback on a Windows system, the session file and all audio files must be stored on Mac-formatted (HFS+) drives. Recording and playback of a session from a mixture of Windows- and Mac-formatted drives is not supported.
*
For information on using the HFS+ Disk Support option, see the Mac HFS+ Disk Support Option Guide.
To record or play back from HFS+ drives with Windows using MacDrive:
1 In Windows, go to the MacDrive Control Panel.
2 Choose Options > File Names and select the International Use option.
3 Delete all options listed under “File Name Maps.”
4 In Pro Tools, choose Window > Workspace and make sure that all Mac-formatted volumes are set to R (record) or P (playback) in the A (Audio) and V (Video) columns.
