Pro Tools LE System Capabilities
Table 5 lists the playback, recording, and input and output capabilities of each Pro Tools LE system.
All Pro Tools LE systems support up to 32 or 24 audio tracks, as noted in Table 5. (Mono tracks take
up a single audio track, while stereo tracks take up two tracks.) If you open a Pro Tools session created
on a TDM system containing more than the number of tracks supported on the LE-based system, au-
dio tracks beyond the LE system’s voiceable track limit will be automatically set to inactive (Pro Tools
6.x), or will not open (Pro Tools 5.3.3 or lower). Additionally, with 5.3.3 or lower, if you save the ses-
sion, the tracks beyond the voiceable track limit will be deleted from the session data.
All Pro Tools LE series systems provide up to 128 Auxiliary tracks (Auxiliary Inputs), a total of 16 in-
ternal mix busses, and up to 5 inserts and 5 sends per track (depending on your computer’s processing
capacity). In addition, Pro Tools LE systems support up to 256 MIDI tracks (Pro Tools 6.x).
For details on transferring session material between Pro Tools TDM and Pro Tools LE systems, see
“Sharing Sessions Between Pro Tools TDM Systems and Pro Tools LE Systems” on page 53.
