solo safe

[mikeyman]

i have my background vocals going to my aux track to add reverb to them.But i can't seem to get the solo to work on any of the tracks or the aux track.I tried to solo safe the aux track but i can't solo the vocal tracks.What am i doing wrong?

Does the solo button simply not "physically" work? Or do you mean you can't hear anything when you press solo?

If the latter, check your Solo Path in I/O Setup.

as soon as i route a channel to an stereo aux track i lose the ability to solo anything.The aux track won't solo either.I don't see anything about solo in the I/O setup.The solo button actually mutes the tracks for some reason

If you route a track to an aux, the way to solo the track is to solo safe the aux (cmd+click on a mac), then solo the desired track that is routed to that aux.
You cannot solo an aux itself alone, you'd need a VCA group for that.

right ,,,but for some reason it is not working that way and i can't figure why.
The solo button are acting like mute buttons

I don't quite understand, what you are trying to do and how you do it.
You say you want to add reverb to your backing vocals, sending them to an aux. So I guess you do that by using a send.
So what exactly are you trying to solo? The reverb alone?

i wanted to group my backing vocals to one track so i can control the volume with one fader and still be able to solo the seperate tracks.maybe i'm not thinking right

[Meads]

Okay, so you want to send the aux to another aux to add reverb, right?
Nothing wrong with that then, and it should work, like I explained earlier.
If it doesn't, something's set up wrong. Can you post a screenshot of your mix window?

this is the setup i'm trying to use but nothing will solo once i route the tracks to an aux busss.Forget the effects
