How to transfer sessions to External? Please help!
Hey I recorded all my bands sessions on my laptop (Powerbook) on Pro-tools M-power, and I am running out of hard drive space. My lead singer is buying a Laci Drive mobile version so I can continue recording all the tracks to the external.
What I want to do is transfer the session to the external hardrive and record the rest of the tracks to the external. Do I have to put Pro-tools M-power 6.8 program on the external hard drive, or just the sessions folder with my songs? My lead singer also wants to use the external drive in another computer that has Pro-tools LE. and use the sessions Would the sessions open up in Pro-tools Le, from M-power? How do I set this up on the external hard drive from my laptop, so it can work with other computers with Pro-tools Le in the future. I am currently using Pro-tools M-power. I have Panther on my laptop, what if someone has Tiger, would the external drive work and would the sessions work and open for them on there computer with a different O.S? Also I only have one fire wire 400 slot, and that is being used by my sound card the M-audio FW-1814, how would I connect the external hardrive. I know the FW-1814 has an extra fire wire port on the back of the unit, would I be able to attached the external hard drive to the back of the sound card? Thank you in advance, Mikey Ace |

If you drag and drop, there is a chance you may miss audio files that were imported into the session at some point, but weren't copied to the audio files folder for that session. |

Thank you both very much,
When I attach the external hard drive later, I will open up my Pro-tools Session and select save as, and select external drive, and the drive should then save the file-session as a file on the External hard drive. I will write back soon to let you know my experiences. Also I am looking to buy a PROFESSIONAL AUDIO RECORDING external hard drive for my laptop soon. I was reccomended Glyph. Can anyone reccomend a model that runs great for a Mac Powerbook 1.5 and has Fire wire 400 or 800 and is 7200 rpm's. I am looking for a fast, portable, quiet, reliable hard drive. Feel free to add any more information or your experiences. Thank you in advance, Mikey Ace |
