OK, gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

normally when you do save as to save a revision, its usually being saved in
the same location as the previous files. So it will automatically point to
the audio file and plug in settings folder or etc. However if you did want
to save the revision to another location, it would still point to all those
files, the problem comes when you say save the revision to an external HD
and you then take that HD to a friends house .. since its just the PTX file
and its not plugged into your computer where the audio and other files re it
will kick up an error. So if you did save ass, you would manual have to be
certain to copy all the needed project files to the same external as well
so when u opened it on your friends computer you could then point it to the
copy of the files on the external as well. Save Copy in does this lal for
you and ensures all needed files will be present in the same folder where
you save that version of the project.

Hey there.
Thank you so much for such a thorough explaination. That makes perfect
sense. So, if I did use Save as, to just make another revision, how would
that work sinse it's only saving the .ptx file? Would I then basically
copy the other files/folders making up the session to the same place where
I saved the revision with save as?

Save as allows you to rename the file/save anew version of the project
file with a new name. For example you have song.ptx Then when you
mix it you will do save as and rename it Song Mix.ptx. You do a
revision and save it as song mix2.ptx. and so on. While you can use
save as to save a copy in a new location, this only saves the project
file. It doesn't bring the project audio files, plug in settings,etc
etc along with it. the project file or PTX file is essentially a tiny
file that tells pro tools what do do with the audio and etc.When
using save copy in, it will create a new project folder with all the
files associated with the project in it. This is ideal for back up and
archival purposes if you want to save the project to a different hard
drive or etc. It is also ideal when you want to conver the project to
another format for sending off to another studio/engineer.

So wait a second. I'm a little confused. If that is the case, then,
what's
the difference in that from the save as, as I was under the impression
that
if I wanted to save in a new location, that's where save as came into
play.
Where am I getting confused? What did I miss?

it allows you to save an entire copy of the session including audio
files and etc in a separate location

Awesomeness, I'll give that a shot. I did kind of wonder what that
option did differently.
Thanks for the help.

try save copy as instead of save as.

OK, so I have a studio I'm going to be working in that I need to
send
a
session to. They only have ProTools MP9 however. I know that PT 10
saves
the session in a .ptx format, which I kind a recall ProTools 9 not
being
able to open. When I went to the file menu, and to save as, even
after
expanding the disclosure triangle, I don't see any way to set the
file
type
to the older format. I know this can be done, as I've seen people
do
it. I
just wonder how they're going about resaving the session in a format
that
MP9 can open.
