How to open a Protools 8 session in 2022!

[DBHILL77]

Hi,

I have done previously done a lot of work on M-Powered Protools 8 with the M-Audio fast track ultra.

I no longer have that interface and am using the latest version of Protools.

I can open my old projects in the current version of Protools, but because of the amount Plugin's (AIR distortion for example, reverbs too) which has been discontinued they don't sound the same at all.

It there anyway I can open a Protools 8 project using the set up I had previously to access these mixes today?

I'm thinking, is there a way to get these discontinued plugins, or possibly on a separate old mac, which I have, try and get an old version of M-Audio interface and Protools 8. This will be tricky, as I think I'll need to try and back date the Mac's OS!

There must be someway to open old projects still. I was hoping there would be a lot of info online but found little. Sorry if this question has already been asked somewhere else.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
David
