Too Many Tracks
At roughly 120 tracks, it looks like I've reached the limit. I get an error message: "Too many Tracks entered for the current Pro Tools configuration. The maximum value will be substituted."
Is there any way around this? |

Yeah
Upgrade to ultimate, or print submixes I started on 4 tracks |

Re: Too Many Tracks
What are you doing that requires 120 tracks? IOW - do you need 120 simultaneous tracks? If not, make the ones you don’t need inactive.
I frequently see dozens of muted tracks in sessions and when I query it, I get told they’re alt takes or tracks that didn’t make the cut. Make them inactive and free up resources. Unless you’re working in post or scoring, 120 tracks is a lot of channels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Too Many Tracks
Of course. I was saying 120 as that’s what the OP mentioned.
But you can still free up resources by making them inactive. If you have 130 tracks, 2 won’t play. If you make another 2 inactive, they will. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

At least that’s how it was last time I did a post session. |

Alternative takes should be taken on playlist on same track.

Re: Too Many Tracks
I usually have stacks of 6 or 8 background vocals per part. What I do after comping/tuning is to bounce each part down to stereo. That way I end up with 3 stereo tracks instead of 24 mono. I do the same with keyboard stacks and any other instruments that would benefit from that and make my life easier while mixing.

Rudeness aside, I stand corrected. I just tried and you’re right, you can not add anymore than 128 tracks regardless of whether you make some inactive. It physically won’t allow you to add any audio tracks after you have 128 in your session. Does anyone know when this behaviour changed? Is it documented anywhere? This was definitely not the case in the past. Is it a bug or a new implementation? If the latter, why? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
