As I have a good number of template sessions already created I wondered if I could simply drop them into the new Session Templates folder inside the Pro tools folder in the Digidesign folder in the Applications folder. So I tried it by simply copying them into the new Templates Folder. When I opened the appropriate folder in the Quick Start window it was empty. So I created a new template from one of my old ones using the Save AS Template from the File menu and then compared what had changed. I quickly noticed that the new template had a new file extension; instead of .ptf it was .ptt. So I took one of my other templates and copied it into the template folder and changed the file extension to .ptt. Sure enough Pro tools recognised it in the Quick Start menu and opened it fine except when it got to the end it asked if I wanted to Edit the Stationery or Create New Session just like Pro Tools used to before Pro Tools 8. So checking the template folder again I found that the new template files don’t have the Stationery Pad box checked. So if you change the file extension and uncheck the Stationery Pad option you can copy your existing template sessions into the Pro Tools Template folder. Hope you like it!

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
