Automatic (Dynamic) voice allocation: It just dawned on me that you can't do this in Logic (TDM or Native), like you can in Pro Tools. In Pro Tools you used to have to specify the Voice for each track, and manage all that - now the default setting in PT is "Auto". For projects where audio voices keep getting added, then reused latter, it's a big pain in Logic as it means keeping track of which tracks (objects) are using which DAE track (voice). Then if I'm no longer using a track, it's free for a new voice - I have to rename the object accordingly. It's the same problem in Native, as you still have to reuse the total number of pre-assigned tracks you've allowed. Or am I missing something basic here?

I've been asking for this feature since 1995 (since 2.5, the first version of Logic that supported TDM). Virtual tracks are amazing in ProTools. The idea that you can have more tracks than voices isn't widely understood by a lot of people. Each track can have its own independent plugins, automation, sends, inputs and outputs. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!"
