Old Sessions
So awhile ago, PT dropped the ability to import much earlier PT session files (PT 4, 5....) and to use SDII files.
Does anyone know what the last version of PT that was able to open early session files as well SDII files, or at least the ability to convert them to AIFF/WAV files.... |

Re: Old Sessions
Here is a good plugin that I use with good success to convert files as well in addition to using an older PT session.

Re: Old Sessions
Yes—I keep an old laptop handy with this exact configuration, I believe the last versions to support SDII-based sessions:
Pro Tools 10.3.5 MacOS 10.8.3 Let me know and I can send you a link to these installers, but they should be able to be found online. |

Re: Old Sessions
And while we are on the topic of converting old sessions, does anyone know a way to make SD2 files that aren't recognized as such (for whatever reason), to be able to be? I have a bunch of archives I'm migrating which are all PT 5.x/PT 6.x sessions that I've backed up on DVD-Rs. For some reason, a handful of the files in the Audio Files folder from some of these sessions just don't want to be recognized, and cannot be force-relinked. It's not as thought the resource forks were blown out on only a handful of these files; they are sitting in a folder with dozens of perfectly working SD2s. Is there something about the naming? Maybe there is a utility to compare a working one and a broken one to figure out how to adjust metadata? No dice using BarbaBatch or any other utility I own.
Thanks in advance. |

Re: Old Sessions
THANKS. I can download the right version of PT from Avid, and I'm pretty sure I've got the OS install as well... but will let you know if I need that. J |

Re: Old Sessions
So I was able to open old sessions with this combination:
Pro Tools 10.3.5 MacOS 10.8.3 But it does convert the SDII files to WAV (or perhaps AIFF) files... Does anyone know what the last version of PT was that could open SDII files natively? I'm thinking probably some version of PT 9, but don't remember. Would kind of be nice if an earlier version of PT10 would, since I still have a license for that, but earlier licenses were all surrendered in upgrades.... |
