General Localization
Session Notes or Session Info Text Files Saved in Japanese May Not Open in TextEdit (PTSW-46686)
Session Notes (you can generate these if you are missing plug-ins or have problems when opening a session) or Session Info (File
> Export > Session Info as Text) text files may not open in TextEdit, depending on the TextEdit preference settings. This is be-
cause the files use different text encoding. As a workaround, you can use the Console application to open files or you can use the
Open menu item in TextEdit, then choose the correct encoding, as follows:
• Session Notes - UTF-8
• Session Info - Japanese (Mac OS)
Reading Session Notes on Korean Mac OS X (PTSW-144218)
Apple has changed its default UTF-8 encoding behavior in the latter 10.6.x releases and 10.7.x. Because of this some languages do
not open Session Notes correctly in TextEdit.
To open Session Notes correctly:
1 Launch TextEdit.
2 Choose TextEdit > Preferences.
3 Click Open and Save.
4 Under “Plain Text File Encoding,” set Opening Files to Unicode (UTF-8).
Certain Chinese Characters Need to Be Initiated in the Mac OS Before They Can Be Used for Naming in Pro Tools (PTSW-33074)
If you cannot use certain characters for naming in Pro Tools, use Text Edit in Mac OS X to initiate the characters. In Text Edit,
type the same characters you were trying to use, then use the mouse to select the correct ones from the pop up menu. You should
now be able to use them in Pro Tools.
AAF/OMF Sequences with Non-English Characters Import with Garbled Clip Names or Won't Relink (PTSW-33569, PTSW-
99570, PTSW-33826)
If an AAF/OMF sequence containing files or clip names with non-English characters is exported from a Mac-based Pro Tools 7.3.1
system (or lower), it may not import correctly into Avid Media Composer, or Pro Tools 7.4 and higher systems on Windows or
Mac. Conversely, AAF/OMF sequences with non-English characters exported from any Pro Tools 7.4 or higher system (or higher)
may not import correctly into a Mac-based Pro Tools 7.3.1 (or lower) system. To relink the files, select “Manually Find and
Relink,” then deselect all options except “Find by file ID.” Clip names may appear garbled.
Known Issues with Pro Tools CoreAudio Hardware Drivers
Limitations of the Avid CoreAudio Driver with Digi CoreAudio Manager
The Digi CoreAudio Driver has the following limitations with HD, 003, and Digi 002 systems:
Pro Tools HD, and Pro Tools with 003 and Digi 002 systems require exclusive access to Pro Tools hardware. You cannot use Core-
Audio applications and Pro Tools with these systems at the same time. To use Pro Tools, make sure you quit any CoreAudio ap-
plications before launching Pro Tools on these systems. To use a CoreAudio application with these systems, make sure you quit
Pro Tools before starting the CoreAudio application.
The Digi CoreAudio Driver cannot be used to preview sound files from the Mac Finder while Pro Tools is running. When a sound
file is located in the Mac OS X navigation window, a QuickTime transport bar is displayed next to it. The QuickTime transport bar
lets you audition the sound file. With USB audio interfaces, you can preview sound files from the Mac Finder as long as Pro Tools
is not running. Regardless, with FireWire and Avid HD audio interfaces, the sound will always play back though the Mac built-in
audio controller (through the Mac speaker or headphone jack). However, if you double-click a sound file, the QuickTime applica-
tion will launch, which can use the Digi CoreAudio Driver for playback.
The Digi CoreAudio Driver cannot be used for playback of Mac System Sounds.
