Default Hidden/inactive tracks counted towards track count

Hi all,

I just want to confirm, it seems that hidden and inactive tracks are counted towards the 8 track limit for intro. Can anyone confirm as this seems to be the case.

Thanks

I believe you are correct. If you want to work on existing(and larger) sessions, don't open them directly. Create a new empty session and import the 8 tracks you are allowed. You could also verify this by first making a copy of the existing session(right-click on the session folder and copy to another location) and try opening the copy. If Intro deletes the extra tracks, then you still have the original session folder(untouched)

This is true.
This is also true for all versions of Pro Tools and their track count limits (not just Intro)
