Default Track Counts?

Is it possible to get more than 32 tracks in a PT session. I swear some of my sessions have more than 32 tracks. Unless MIDI tracks dont count I have 38 tracks in one of my sessions along with multiple plugins ect...

It really depends what you call "tracks"..an aux input does not count as part of the 32 alloted audio tracks.
Also PT LE 6.4 will allow you to have 128 ( I think...) audio tracks in your session, but only 32 of them will be "voice-able"..

hope this helps,

Yes, the "limit" is 32 AUDIO tracks can play at once. A stereo track =2 audio tracks. More audio tracks can exist in a session, but only 32 can be live at a time. I have done sessions with 40+ tracks by shutting off several, then mixing stems(submixes) where possible. A good example is BGV's. I will buss 6 or more BGV tracks to a stereo pair, then disable the voices on the originals, then turn back on some more voices(tracks). Midi and Aux tracks do not count against the 32.

I see.... At least I know I'm not freakin crazy.. Why is the active track count set to 32? Is this just a limitation put on the software by Digi so you have to buy an HD system$$$$$ if you want more tracks? More tracks would be awesome. I hate having to so sub mixes to make everthing fit sometimes. But hey I guess its better than My old 16 track adat rig..

That is exactly the opinion of many users in this forum. Try a search for "track limitation" or similar...on the LE side...
IMO 32 is quite workable...more would be of course better...

I'm with Lemix. I remember when 24 tracks was awesome. Besides YES Fragile was done on 16 tracks.
