fx return and solo mute buses
Coming from Logic I'm still struggling with PT's solo/mute approach. Those of you who use both DAW's probably know what I'm talking about.
In Logic I can solo a bus and simply hear any fader routed to it (instead of soloing all the single channels or using solo save) How do you guys solo f.ex. a reverb return (or a // compression) without the direct sound. I'd like to EQ the reverb return and listen to it in solo. I know I can set the send to pre and back to post again. I'm just searching for a faster workflow. In PT I always need 1 or 2 steps more than in Logic. Maybe it's just me Basically PT is emulating old consoles but this whole solo/mute thing is really slow nowadays and kind of unnecessary for a modern DAW. Avid could give more options in the preferences to change the behaviour. Anyway... I would appreciate any help or suggestion, Best

Re: fx return and solo mute buses
Mute-safe and Solo-safe are 2 functions that can help. And, if your interface has another set of outputs, you could use them to route audio out. I do this on my HD rig and feed a second set of outputs to a spare input of my monitor/source switcher(Presonus Central Station, but most any could accommodate). In my template sessions(and tracks) I have a pre-fade send in the last slot of every track, that is set to -0 and muted. By selecting this alternative path on my switcher, I can Ctrl-click on any of my extra sends and listen to any signal(or combination) without fighting the mute/solo issue, and without affecting any headphone mixes during a tracking session.
