So we are building a new studio and for now I have to work out of another studio. Which sucks cause I don't want to bother using their crap. Well my question is, I own pt10 and run it with apogee symphony. The other studio has pt7 with an older Digidesign converter. So I want to track at the studio and mix at my home studio with pt10. How do I convert the formats?? From pt7 to pt10?? I'm tempted to take my gear there but the though of getting jacked/losing my stuff and setting up with their place (plus it's dirty and not organized) gets me bummed out! I don't have a choice to track there cause its free and I need to make money for building my new studio. Any input will help thanks.

not sure if it also works with pt7, but I can open pt8 and pt9hd sessions on my pt10 without any kind of conversation
 
You don't need to do anything. Just open it and it should work. It might re-render the waveforms, and then you'll save a new session file as a .ptx, but that's it. It's just a new file type, so it will open all the old ones fine. Or should anyway. I've heard of one or two issues with it opening up .pts files with elastic audio going...
 
PT7-PT10=No issues do whatever you want.

PT10-PT7=you need to do a session copy and make sure you switch to PT7x session or some shit. (forget exact phrasing).
 
Bring your ilock and all your plugin installer put on usb stick.
Give that to house engineer/assistant and voila, you have all your plugins;)
