What is the proper way to share a Pro Tools session with all associated audio files for transfer?

• A. Copy the session file only
• B. Save Session Copy In without audio
• C. Compress the session folder and share
• D. Save Copy In... and select All Audio Files

Answer: (D)

Sharing a Pro Tools session effectively means sending a self-contained package that includes the session file plus every audio file the session uses. That way the recipient can open the session and hear exactly what you worked with, without missing media. Saving a copy in and selecting All Audio Files copies all the session’s audio into a new folder, ensuring the session is fully portable. Other options either send only the session file (no audio) or copy the session without its audio, which leads to missing media and broken playback. Compressing or sharing the folder separately isn’t the standard workflow; using Save Copy In with All Audio Files gives you a ready-to-transfer package.
