Solo FX bus?
Is there a more practical way to solo FX tracks because sending it pre fader is useless isn't it?

On my rig, I took a completely "outside the box" solution that solves a few problems. If you have the extra IO available(and maybe a monitor/source selector), it might be of value to you, so here's what's involved: 1-Create an extra output path(mine is stereo and named Solo Path). 2-on every track, add a send to this output in the last send slot. 3-Set the sends to Pre-fade, send fader to -0, and mute the send. 4-route this new output so that you can listen. This could be a headphone feed, a second set of speakers, or (in my case) to an input of a Presonus Central Station. 5-to "solo" any track(or combination of tracks), Ctrl-click on the muted send(that toggles mute on/off for the send). The advantages of this: 1-you can listen to an AUX return regardless of it being fed pre or post fade. 2-you can listen to ANY combination of tracks without affecting ANY sends at all(imagine you have sends to feed headphone mixes for several players) 3-depending on your setup; in my case, I can hear the main mix on one set of speakers, AND hear this separate feed on a second set of speakers(or phones). If you build the send into your session templates and track presets, its always available
