Saving Pro Tools 10.x Sessions to Pro Tools 7 –> 9 Format

To save a Pro Tools 10.x session so it is compatible with Pro Tools version 7.x through 9.x, use the File > Save Copy In command to choose the Pro Tools 7 –> 9 Session format.

When saving a Pro Tools 10.x session to Pro Tools 7 –> 9 format, the following occurs:

Any audio tracks beyond 256 are made inactive

Clip gain settings are dropped. If you want to apply any clip gain settings prior to saving the session copy, you will need to manually render clip gain settings.

Fades have to be rendered when the session is opened in a lower version of Pro Tools.

Sessions with mixed file formats and bit-depths must convert all files to the same file format and bit depth.

Sessions with files that have a bit depth of 32‑bit floating point must be converted to 24‑bit or 16-bit.

For sessions with RF64 files larger than 4 GB, these files will be unavailable to lower versions of Pro Tools. (You will need to manually edit and consolidate these files so that the audio can be available to lower versions of Pro Tools.)
