Track Limit
I was working on a song yesterday and could only get 22 or 23 working audio tracks. No plugins were active, no aux, no bus...just straight audio and only 23 tracks. Is it my Ram??
1gig 1ghz G4 Thanks..

Re: Track Limit
Do you have a dedicated 7200rpm drive for your audio?

Re: Track Limit
I get 32 tracks on my G4 867 (single) with 640MB RAM. And that's with all my busses going and plenty of plugs.
So, you should get more. If you're not recording to a dedicated internal drive that could be it (as was mentioned) or maybe it's a system configuration problem. Give us more specs and we'll see if we can narrow it down. What OS, what version of PT, what interface, are you using a separate user just for PT?

Re: Track Limit
By "get" do you mean you could not create any mor eaudio tracks, or your system would not play more than that number of audio tracks without running our of cpu power?
PTle has a 32 track limit, and stereo tracks count as 2 tracks. |

Re: Track Limit
Thanks for the rapid responses. I am using PT 6.4 with OSX 10.3.2 with a Lacie external Firewire drive that is only for Protools read and write. When I try to open another track, the message says that there isn't enuf .....(cannot remember the exact words). It will load the track, but the last one in the list then becomes inactive. All tracks are mono.
Thanks again for trying, I was all set to up the Ram, I guess that won't help.

Re: Track Limit
The exact error message is important, you should be able to create 32 audio tracks regardless of CPU speed, amount of ram or type of hard drive. Stereo audio tracks count as 2 tracks.
But, even if you create them, you might not be able to do much with them. That does depend on CPU, RAM and disk. Quote:

For the record, PTLE has a 32 voice limit - not track limit, as you can have tracks that are not assigned to a voice (Dyn or Auto) loaded in a session, but only 32 audio voices active at any one time.
