Re: I need help/advice on how to open old Protools MAC sessions
Alicia, hopefully you can locate someone still running a TDM rig with all the same plugins to do a quick remix for you. But, they would still need to recover all the files that were damaged through incorrect storage.
If not, the good news is that "Truth or Lies" is completely recoverable and can be opened in the latest version of Pro Tools minus plugins that don't exist anymore or are no longer compatible with their legacy versions, and what appear to be two audio files (samples) that were never actually copied into the session. Waves' C4, DeEsser, Ren EQ, and RenVerb were all run as HTDM. There are 3 instances of the Virus Indigo TDM synth. There are a couple instances of Amp Farm TDM, and of course 7 instances of Autotune TDM. All of these are ultimately replaceable, but the settings on each has to be worked out all over again. Replacing the synth parts will take the longest since the remixer has to find similar sounds to what was done originally. As for "TEMP RAE", it's an empty session. Whatever it was used for is unrecoverable because it wasn't saved after they did work in it. The audio files that go with it are recoverable, but since they lost their resource forks, the time stamps are gone and they can no longer be spotted to where they went in the timeline.

Re: I need help/advice on how to open old Protools MAC sessions
SDII has been supported for some time now. A couple of years. Resource forks may still present an issue..

Re: I need help/advice on how to open old Protools MAC sessions
Resource forks aren't an issue. And yes, SDII supported for a long while now. Even in 2013, we found Pro Tools dealt with SDII fine (just converted to wave on import.) (I have records from 2013-2017 of still getting SDII from some places and having no issues)

Re: I need help/advice on how to open old Protools MAC sessions
It's not an issue if you can open the session file and just want to import the audio from SDII. It is an issue if you need to recover a session file pre Mac/PC compatibility.

I deeply appreciate your comment--stitching things together seems like a viable option and could save me from re-recording everything. |

There is a small chance too, that the header-info of the files is still intact, for the versions that exist on your harddrive, which would make them much easier to load up. Its about $10/month for a 2TB dropbox plan btw, that would be plenty for everything I would imagine.
