Once a session is saved as stationery, it acts as a template that you can open and then re-save as a normal session.<\/p>\n<p>To create a custom session template:<\/p>\n<p>1. Create a session and arrange Pro Tools as desired.  You can also define the parameters within these windows, such as signal routings, insert and send configurations, track views, Ruler settings, and Preference settings.<\/p>\n<p>2. Choose File>Save Session<\/p>\n<p>3. Name the session and click Save.<\/p>\n<p>4. Close the session.<\/p>\n<p>5. Locate the session file that you just saved.<\/p>\n<p>6. Click once on the file to select it.<\/p>\n<p>7. Choose File>Get Info.  A file information window will appear.<\/p>\n<p>8. Click the Stationery Pad check box to save the file as a template, then close the information window.  <\/p>\n<p>To use this template, double-click it or open it with the Open Session command if you are already running Pro Tools.  You can create several custom templates for studio setups that you frequently use.<\/p>\n<p>When you open a session saved as a Stationery pad,  Pro Tools gives you the option of editing the template or starting a new session using the template settings.  If you choose New Session, Pro Tools will create a new folder containing a copy of your session template and Audio and Fades folders.<\/p>\n<p>Reference : ProTools version 5.1 Reference Guide p.55<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34125],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33300],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I make a custom session template for Protools on a Mac? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/make-custom-session-template-for-protools-mac\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I make a custom session template for Protools on a Mac? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You can create a session template on the Macintosh by saving a session file as a &#8220;Stationery pad&#8221; document.
