Default Midi tracks "blued out"

Hi,

I know PT has limitations in amount of tracks... but even with MIDI?

I deleted All the audio tracks I didn't need, bringing it down to 13 audio tracks.

The midi tracks are still "blued out"

I have to create new midi tracks, then drag the midi clips to the new midi tracks for them to play.

It is very annoying!

Is there a way to remove that "blued out " so the midi track can play?

Thanks

I was on PT 11.1.3 (30 day demo), so I switched back to 10.3.9 and had the same results

MBP i7Quad 2.0 (Early 2011) 16 gigs RAM 500 gig SSD
10.8.5

Yeah you should have lots more midi tracks.

From Avid website :

Pro Tools 11
96/48/24 maximum simultaneous audio tracks @ 48/96/192 kHz
Up to 32 Inputs and 32 maximum simultaneous audio record tracks
128 Instrument Tracks
512 MIDI tracks
128 auxiliary tracks
256 busses
1 video track

Should be very similar in PT10 too.


Are you using external synths or VI's and if you use VI, what Kind is it and how many midi tracks could you get?

Chris

Are they assigned anywhere? Midi tracks will be greyed out if not assigned to an active input. Is that what's going on here?
