You cannot import Mac or NT files. You cannot export files to Mac or NT. The next version of Win98 will have the import and export capabilities to get to and from these other platforms.Also keep in mind that in order for plug-ins to transfer seamlessly to another system, that system must have the current versions installed. If not, you will get an alert telling you that one or more plug-ins could not be created in the session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"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 Pro Tools platform compatibility matrix 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\/pro-tools-platform-compatibility-matrix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pro Tools platform compatibility matrix - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Apparently our technical support department has been fielding a lot of questions about the real cross compatibility matrix of the various versions of Pro Tools currently shipping.
