Default Re: Moving Catalogs from one machine to another

Can anyone help? By the way, I'm working on a mac in case you hadn't guessed.

Pro Tools Reference Guide, page 228:

"Sharing Catalogs (DigiBase Pro Only)
Catalogs can be created for a particular project and then shared among multiple systems to help facilitate more efficient workflow. DigiBase Pro Catalogs are stored as database files on your system drive.
On Windows, Catalog database files are stored in the ProgramFiles\Digidesign\ProTools\Databases\Catalog s folder.
On Mac, Catalog database files are stored in the Library/Application Support/ Digidesign/Databases/Catalogs folder."


How a 6.4 TDM catalog will behave on a LE 8 & DVT2 system is another question.
Keep us posted.
