Pro Tools Layout Changes. Why?
Whenever someone sends me a session, my pro tools layout changes to what they have on their session. How can I bypass this so my session layout does not change whenever I open a session from a different person? Thank you
I am using PT 12 windows |

Re: Pro Tools Layout Changes. Why?
Please be clear as to what you mean by "layout changes."

Re: Pro Tools Layout Changes. Why?
Pro Tools is ALWAYS going to default to the “last” setting. It’s always worked that way. The machine the session came from has no way of “knowing” how you have your sessions laid out, and your machine likewise won’t have any way to “know” how the incoming session is laid out. Just like when/if you send the session back, when they open it, it’s going to default to where YOU left it.

Re: Pro Tools Layout Changes. Why?
I see, so there is no way from bypassing it? How can I return to my original layout? It looks like I have to manually change everything back to my original lay out? Is there a quick way of doing it?

Re: Pro Tools Layout Changes. Why?
Just manually move stuff around to where you want it. It shouldn’t take any time at all. Then ctrl-s!
Side note….if I open up a session on my dual monitor setup that I originally did when I had THREE monitors, same thing. I have to take half a minute and put stuff where I want it. It’s just the way it is. Last edited by sw rec; 02-27-2022 at 07:43 PM. |

Or just import you own via "Import Session data". ...and uncheck everything except.

Re: Pro Tools Layout Changes. Why?
You literally wished for a feature someone just showed you. If you don't even know what a window configuration is, technically speaking, should ask maybe... Look it up in manual. You might not, but the version everyone else is running has had window configs for years.... What else do you need the feature to do? There might be other features too.

Re: Pro Tools Layout Changes. Why?
Beyond the great advice already given, if you collaborate with mostly one person(vs with dozens), it might be worth a conversation about it. Example: I share sessions with 1 person a lot(probably 90% of my shared work is with this one person) so we came up with a session template that we both work from. We went so far as to name certain IO to match on 2 very different systems(he ran an Mbox 2 Pro and I ran HD/Native with 32 IO). He renamed his 2 mic inputs to match 2 of mine and we matched the names of our main outputs. This way, a session opens fine on either setup, the user just has to click to ignore the missing paths. Its nice getting a session file from him that opens almost exactly as I would use anyway
