systems. Visit our website for more information

Track Priority and Dynamic Voicing
When working with more than 192 voices (at
44.1 or 48 kHz), you can play back audio on a
track that would use voice number 193 and
higher by changing the higher track’s priority,
as follows:
• Make a lower numbered track inactive
(click the Track Name and select Track >
Make Inactive) to free up its voice.
• Set the voice assignment in a lower num-
bered track to Off (click the Voice selector
and select Off).
•Drag the Track Name button of the higher
numbered track to the left (Mix window) or
upwards (in the Edit window or Track List)
until it is in the range of the maximum
number of voiced audio tracks allowed by
your system. The previous last voiced audio
track will now be out of range and its voice
assignment will change to Off.
For more information on working with
Pro Tools sessions and tracks, see the
Pro Tools Reference Guide.
Tracks do not play back when they are inac-
tive or their voice assignment is set to Off.
