How to inspect a Pro Tools project

A Pro Tools session file is encrypted, which is why most tools cannot read one. This one can, in your browser.

  1. Drop the session: Drop the .ptx, or the whole session folder so the inspector can check the Audio Files folder too.
  2. Read the report: Third-party plugins, Avid’s own, every track, clips, markers, tempo, sample rate, bit depth and the audio files the session uses.
  3. Decide: Install what is missing, ask for the audio that did not come with it, or convert the session to the DAW you use.

What the inspector tells you

  • Plugins, before the session opens

    Pro Tools tells you a plugin is missing when the session is already loading. The inspector lists the session’s plugins first, with Avid’s own ones — Click II, Elastic Audio — set apart.

  • The Audio Files folder, checked

    A session file points at audio in its Audio Files folder. Drop the whole session folder and anything the session needs that is not there is listed as missing.

  • Nothing leaves your computer

    The session is decrypted and read by this page. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

Questions about the Pro Tools inspector?

We have answers.

Do I need Pro Tools to use this?

No. It runs in any modern browser. To play or edit the session you still need Pro Tools, or the session converted into a DAW you have.

Which Pro Tools versions does it read?

.ptx sessions — the format since Pro Tools 10. It is tested against Pro Tools 12 sessions; older .ptf and .pts files may read only in part.

Is my session uploaded?

No. The page reads the file on your device and nothing is sent anywhere.
