Dealing with track counts
This may have been discussed already, but I have to get it off my chest. The new way Pro Tools (non HD) deals with too many tracks is absolutely absurd.
In older versions, it would basically take any tracks over the maximum track count and make them inactive. I could still deactivate a group of tracks and activate the others if I needed to access them for any reason. Now in 12, Pro Tools just completely deletes the tracks from your session before it actually opens up! WTF?!?!?! What I really want to know, is who thought that was a good idea? And I sure hope they aren't employed anymore. |

Re: Dealing with track counts
the marketing people who want you to think that if you need more than X tracks, you "need" to buy HD

Re: Dealing with track counts
Is it possible these tracks are disabled and hidden, instead of deleted?

VCA faders are deleted Tracks wider than stereo are deleted Tracks above the vanilla track count limit are deleted I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that really get me on a regular basis. In some ways, I understand the VCA/multichannel tracks, as these have been HD (or CPTK, for us "older" folk) since the beginning. But just indiscriminately deleting tracks? I mean, come on. |

Re: Dealing with track counts
Absolutely not. The message that comes up when loading a session (and I paraphrase) used to say something like the extra tracks above your track count will be made inactive. Now the message actually says that it is deleting the tracks and not inactivating them.
