Default Re: Is it possible to solo aux sends?

I'll let Benny answer that, but here's what I do for this need:
Every track(track presets and session templates are awesome), I add a send(named "Solo Path") in the last slot. I set them all to -0, all are pre-fade and all are muted. They all feed a separate pair of outputs on my interface(DIGI003R here). When I want to "solo" a bus or aux track, I switch my monitor source(I use a Presonus central Station) to the "solo path" outs(the pair that are tied to the sends). I can Ctrl-click on any track's last send so I can listen to anything I want(regardless of how its fed).This works really well if you have a spare pair of outputs

Other methods involve using the "Solo Safe" option(Ctrl-click on a solo button and it will be heard when anything else is solo'd). Whether you Solo-Safe an AUX or the tracks feeding the AUX will depend on your needs and your routing. Another way to hear aux returns(like reverbs and delays) is to feed them with pre-fade sends(sure, post-fade is the usual for feeding effects, but rules can be bent or broken...
