Jul 31, 2015 Here's what's new in I/O setup in Pro Tools 12. Or customizing existing busses. If you are to use “Last Used” the next time you create a session, that new session will inherit these changes. And then save that session as a template. Now, every session generated with that template will have a memory of its future destination.
You can create a session template on the Macintosh by saving a session file as a “Stationery pad” document. Once a session is saved as stationery, it acts as a template that you can open and then re-save as a normal session.
To create a custom session template:
1. Create a session and arrange Pro Tools as desired. You can also define the parameters within these windows, such as signal routings, insert and send configurations, track views, Ruler settings, and Preference settings.
2. Choose File>Save Session
3. Name the session and click Save.
4. Close the session.
5. Locate the session file that you just saved.
6. Click once on the file to select it.
7. Choose File>Get Info. A file information window will appear.

8. Click the Stationery Pad check box to save the file as a template, then close the information window.
To use this template, double-click it or open it with the Open Session command if you are already running Pro Tools. You can create several custom templates for studio setups that you frequently use.
When you open a session saved as a Stationery pad, Pro Tools gives you the option of editing the template or starting a new session using the template settings. If you choose New Session, Pro Tools will create a new folder containing a copy of your session template and Audio and Fades folders.
