I think you could just track up to 32, disable some of the channels, then keep tracking. Then when you open the session on the TDM rig just re-enable all of the channels.

I believe the LE limitation is on the number of tracks that can play back at once, not total number in the session.

Hello. Buy a TDM system!

But seriously, what are you trying to do? LE sessions can have up to 128 audio tracks. Only 32 tracks will play at any one time, but that's certainly not a problem for the HD sessions.

Are you going from LE to TDM, or viceversa?

Im not sure if this will work But I think it should never reached the lim it myself

Take 10 tracks or something and buss them so that they only sound in the buss

instead of 10 voices now you only have 1 stereo so you can get more tracks

I hope someone is reading so they can tell me if IM right or not



who am I kidding of course I am

no, that is incorrect.

10 tracks is 10 tracks, doesn't matter if you're bussing them or not. To be more policitiaclly correct, it's actually based on Voices - you get to 'hear' up to 32 Voices in PTLE - a mono track is one voice, a stereo track is 2. Any tracks that exceed the 32 voice limit will be deactivated.
