Pro Tools LE System Capabilities
Table 7 lists the playback, recording, and input and output capabilities of each Pro Tools LE system.
Mono tracks of simultaneous playback refers to the number of unique simultaneous playback and
record tracks on your system. Total voiceable tracks refers to the maximum number of audio tracks
that can share the available voices on your system. (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 Pro Tools|HD system
containing more than the number of tracks supported on the LE-based system, audio tracks beyond
the LE system’s voiceable track limit will be automatically set to inactive.
Pro Tools LE systems provide up to 128 Auxiliary Input tracks, a total of 32 internal mix busses, and
up to 5 inserts and 10 sends per track (depending on your computer’s processing capacity). In addi-
tion, Pro Tools LE systems support up to 32 Instrument tracks and 256 MIDI tracks. Pro Tools LE also
supports a single QuickTime video track.
For details on transferring session material between Pro Tools|HD and Pro Tools LE systems, see
“Sharing Sessions Created on Different Pro Tools Systems” on page 316.
