Sup Raj!!
Dig the new pics BTW...
PTLE allows you to have 5 playlist per track, at least in 5.2.1...
I think what yer boi is doing is using 32 audio tracks, and maybe creates a new playlist for all the audio tracks, which hides the "old" playlist, or old track...and records new ones.....I use this method for recording different takes of a git solo or vocal take. Or, when tracking a band, we might keep multiple takes of the same song and compare them later.
My RnB dude makes his beats in Acid, bounces down all instruments as its own seperate stereo .wav. All are locked to tempo, i import these into LE, same tempo, and we record vox over them. Before i run out of tracks, i willmake a submix of the beat only, import it back into LE, and line dat ho up!! Otherwise the track will be out of sync w/ itself.
I save one session w/ all the beat and some vox, and the other session w/ ALL the voxes and a stereo beat. So one session has like 12 stereo tracks and rest mono, while the other is all mono cept one stereo track. Homie says it works great and the eng at da BIG studio has no trouble using the "import track from session" function in PT.
I always use the "save session copy in" function and copy all audio and fade files, making sure to clear any unused regions as needed.
