What is a .PTX file?
PTX is a Pro Tools session file. Created and opened by Avid Pro Tools.
- Did you know
- Pro Tools is the long-standing studio standard for recording and mixing professional audio.
- PTX arrived with Pro Tools 10, replacing the earlier PTF and PTS session formats.
- Pro Tools is made by Avid, which gained the software when it acquired Digidesign in 1995.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify DAW project files and read version, tempo, and plugin data: Ableton Live (ALS), FL Studio (FLP), Reaper (RPP), Logic Pro, Pro Tools (PTX), and Cubase (CPR).
- Depth of analysis
- .PTX is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .PTX file
- Drag a .PTX file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
