Pro Tools Session Guidelines For Music Production v2.0
Now Endorsed by NARAS

Remember how quickly you could go to work after opening up a reel of two inch + glancing at the track sheet? With Pro Tools sessions that is usually not the case. These guidelines intend on making it that easy, if not easier, and without intentionally reinventing the wheel. They are simply adapted versions of common practices used with tape applied to Pro Tools.

The Pro Tools Session Guidelines originally debuted here nearly three years ago. Since that time, the Technical Subcommittee of the Florida Producers + Engineers Wing of The Recording Academy has worked hard to extensively update, expand + improve them. We then put them up for review by the national members of the P+E Wing on the NARAS website, and received many excellent suggestions which were incorporated. The result is a set of guidelines for Pro Tools based on the input of some of the most experienced engineers + producers in the industry, including Roger Nichols, Bob Ludwig, Tony Maserati, Mick Guzauski + Eric Schilling to name a few.

When followed, these guidelines can eliminate much confusion for all operators, provide answers to anticipated questions, solve certain problems before they arise, and shorten the time between when an operator opens a session and when they are able to go to work.

Now endorsed by NARAS, version 2.0 is available for download here in PDF format.   PDF4
