Pro Tools LE systems with the DV Toolkit 2 op-
tion or the Music Production Toolkit 2 option

Track Priority and Dynamic Voicing
The lowest-numbered (highest priority) audio
tracks that are active
and have their voice assign-
ment set to DYN (Dynamically Allocated Voic-
ing) are the tracks that play back. (The total
number of tracks that play back depends on the
maximum number of voiced audio tracks al-
lowed by your system.)
Tracks that are higher-numbered (lower prior-
ity) than these tracks do not play back and you
cannot record to them. Their
Dynamically Allo-
cated Voicing
button are blue to indicate they are
unavailable for playback or recording. For exam-
ple, with Pro Tools LE with Music Production
Toolkit 2, any tracks after the first 48 will cannot
be voiced and will not play back.
When working with more than the maximum
number of voiced audio tracks allowed by your
system, you can only play back audio from
higher-numbered (lower priority) tracks by
changing the track priority by doing any of the
following:
• Make a lower-numbered track inactive
(click the
Track Name
and select
Track >
Make Inactive
).
• 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 previously last voiced au-
dio track is moved out of range and its
voice assignment is changed to
Off
.
When the priority of the higher-numbered track
is changed, its voice assignment is automatically
changed from
Off
to
DYN
.
Automatic Assignment of Ascending
Voices
(Pro Tools HD Only)
You can automatically assign all tracks or all se-
lected tracks to successive voices. For example,
you may want to select eight audio tracks and
reassign them to voices 9–16.
To assign all audio tracks to successive voices:
„
While pressing Alt (Windows) or
Option (Mac), select the starting
voice number from the Voice selector for the
track at the far left of the Mix window, or at the
top of the Edit window.
Tracks do not play back when they are in-
active or their voice assignment is set to Off.
