Toggle between Mute/Solo
Does anyone write a feature request about this simple feature already?
Basically all DAW I work with (Logic/Cubase etc) allow to solo a muted track/channel and if I un-solo it that track/channel will mute again. I know workarounds to that and just wanted to know if feature request regarding that where already send. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Toggle between Mute/Solo
I'm trying to do the same thing. I assume you are using Pro Tools but you mentioned other DAWs. If I was start a new post I would say "Soloing a Muted Track." Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Re: Toggle between Mute/Solo
Here's a work-around you probably have not thought of. As long as you have an extra pair of outputs available, add a send to the last send slot on every track. Make it pre-fade, fader to -0 and muted. Now, instead of using the SOLO button, Ctrl-click on the send(and feed this output to phones or a separate set of speakers). This solves your specific wish, but also allows some other(and very useful) options, like listening to FX tracks without the sending tracks

Enable Track and Edit Selection.
Put cursor on the track of interest. Solo (or mute) the track. Hold SHIFT and press S and M simultaneously. That will toggle the track state between Solo and Mute. |

Re: Toggle between Mute/Solo
I am not sure if this is what the OP was asking for ...
I have soloed a track. I now wish to solo a different track. I'd like to be able (using some key stroke shortcut or preference) to have the first track unsolo (go to mute) when I solo the different track. Is this possible?

Re: Toggle between Mute/Solo
That's a feature I'm thinking of often lately. It would be very useful, like when muting the guidetrack while editing ambiences and then listening to the guidetrack in solo for comparison on the center channel.
Anyway, the shift S+M is a good suggestion, probably with a little macro/soundflow stuff that can be made even faster and automated on a single keystroke. |
