Track Priority and Voice
Assignment
Track priority and voice assignment are dependent
on your Pro Tools hardware and software configu-
ration.
Pro Tools|HD and HDX provide a certain number
of voices (simultaneous channels of audio play-
back and recording), depending on the number of
cards in the system. For example, a
Pro Tools|HD 1 system can provide up to 96
voices of audio playback and recording, at 44.1 or
48 kHz. For details on Pro Tools system capabili-
ties, see “Playback, Recording, and Voice Limits
with Pro Tools HD” on page 49.
Pro Tools systems let you play or record up to 96
simultaneous stereo or mono tracks. For details on
system capabilities, see “Pro Tools Capabilities
with Different Hardware Configurations” on
page 44.
You can also make a path globally inactive
(or active) in the I/O Setup dialog. See “Mak-
ing Paths Active or Inactive” on page 112.
If a Send (A–J) has multiple Output Path as-
signments and one of those is toggled active
or inactive, then
all of the Output Path as-
signments for that Send (A–J) are toggled ac-
tive or inactive.
