How to export sessions from 7.0 to flash drive and import on 8.0

[mudlake slim]

I want to export a recording session done in the studio with ProTools M-Audio 7.0 to a flash drive and then import it on my home system which has the 8.0 version. I think I have to use the digi - delivery system since the export would not highlight. Also, I think I'll have to remove the plug-in's since they are all different than version I will edit with.

Is this all possible and how do I go about it? Also, I understand that all session data and related data will also have to accompany the session. I've tried this but no luck so far.

Jus save copy in to the flash drive instead of exporting...

When u drag the session, or import it, what ever plugs u don't hav won't open of course so u will be ok; or jus drag the session to the other drive & hold shift when u click the session to be opened...

It's really that easy? Okay, I'll try it soon. This will be great if I can get it to work, I'll be able to record at the studio and edit at home.

Thanks for the help.

Yeahppp... Jus make sure in Setup>preferences>Processing that u have "automatically Copy files on Import checked on both or all machines...

Otherwise, U will be in trubble or even a 'Mudlake'

That's good to know and you say I can leave the plug-ins? I guess I can remove them, if any after I import then change or add the plug-ins I want. Thanks for keeping me out of that murky water.

Indeed. If the plugin doesn't exist in whichever version of PT you bring a session into... it will just warn you, and then grey it out.
