FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt 3

Sardi, and thanks for catching that, I'd just forgot it was an option...

And to the OP... your old sessions will use RTAS plugins, current Pro Tools use AAX plugins, so you may run into plugins you were using that are not supported on AAX etc. Just something to be aware of. Even a few Avid plugins did not make the transition, but there are alternatives you can use. Just want you thinking about the big picture of what you may need to do here to get going.

... Pro Tools First does not read sessions, it only works with cloud projects. You need Pro Tools (standard) or Pro Tools Ultimate to work with sessions on disk.

Okay, so just to confirm. Pro Tools First will not open the song files on my Glyph External HD? I have not bought any of the adapters yet. Also, even if I used a friends computer to get the files off the Glyph, PT First won't read them?

Unless something has changed recently, then no, you won’t be able to open the session. You may be able to if you pay for the local storage option, but I can’t say for sure.

You can import the audio files into PT First, but unless they’re all consolidated, that isn’t of much use.

Perhaps do a search on the AVID site as I’m sure this info would be listed.
