I’m currently using Cubase LE AI Elements 10, and when I record a song, the maximum number of audio tracks that I can add caps at 17. It doesn’t let me add any more than this, as the box is greyed out.
When I Google the maximum cubase tracks, I often see 36, and not 17. Could anyone explain to me how to make it so I can record more audio tracks at a time?
I have tried starting in safe mode, and I disabled my program preferences. I still am now capped at 16 audio tracks, and if I try to add more, the option is greyed out and unclickable.
Yes, this is an empty project. As far as I know, there are no hidden tracks. I have attached a screenshot of what Cubase looks like when I have opened a new project, added a total of 16 audio tracks, and have attempted to add a 17th track. As you can see, the “audio” function is greyed out.
From my decades old memories, I seem to remember that the cheaper versions of Cubase once had their track counts limited by Steinberg, in order to encourage upgrades. This many or may not still be the case. Perhaps check out a features comparison chart, the only one I can find here states that Cubase Elements has track count limited, does not mention LE.
Well I’m still on AI 9.5, 32 audio tracks and 16 inputs.
Can not recreate this behavior. i can add 100 tracks in an empty project and 32 will be created. If I again add any audio tracks ( not greyed out) , i get a warning message that maximum number of tracks are reached . If I delete 30 tracks, leave 2, in the project, then adding 100 audio tracks will not come up with the warning, but just add 30 tracks.
I have had similar problems in this program and I concluded that the problem was with my processor which will overload if I try to open more than 16 tracks and export. Also, when I use the synthesizer virtual instruments (poly and wave) it puts more strain on the processor and can affect how many tracks it can handle.
