Solo BUtton/Audio Bleed

[andrewkstone]

Hi,

I'm using PT LE 7.o on Windows XP. I've been tracking some guitars and noticed that solo button on one channel is greyed out. The channel plays, and I can hit solo and hear only that channel. But when I undo the solo, the button is grey, while all others are normal.

This is compounded by the audio on that one channel ALSO bleeding onto two other tracks (acoustic guitar recorded with two mics, simultaneously).

The acoustic track was done in the studio and I brought it home with the rest of the session files and loaded it onto my home setup. I had do do some relinking, tho I'm not sure if that was the problem. This has happened before on tracks recorded all on one computer.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Andy

hold cntrl and click on the solo button that is greyed out

That fixed it - thanks a lot!

Just for my own edification, can you tell me why and how this happened? Why was the audio bleeding?

Many thanks,

Andy

when you "grey out" if you will a solo button it basically removes it from any corresponding function of that command. so when you solo it mutes the other channels, but if you have a channel "greyed out" it will not be muted whenever ANY channel is solo'd.

its actually quite useful. i typically do it to all of my fx channels and any aux's i have multiple tracks routed to so if say i solo my vocal track, i will hear all the fx associtated with it, not just the dry vocal, or if i have 4 vocals routed to one aux, i can solo my vocals 1 at a time if i want and not have to hit 2 solo buttons.

Thanks for you help and sorry for the late response. I recently lost my job and have been in search mode for the last few weeks.

Best,

Andy
