CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Sorry guys, I know we're all on the 12.8 highs and lows, but as a full time mixer, and a non-icon user I think we're LONG OVERDUE for the clear ALL solos shortcut.
Anyone wants to write a script for that?!

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

There is one: hold option while pressing a solo button

For all people who've mixed on real consoles and on an icon- that's not what I'm talking about. A keyboard shortcut that doesn't require moving the mouse.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

agreed there should be a shortcut for that.....however.

Since I got my D-Cmnd i haven't needed it :D

prior to my D-Cmnd I used keyboard maestro and just created a macro and assigned F15 (iirc) to do that.

It worked like a charm.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Not sure if I totally get what you need but when you solo tracks a little yellowish S highlights under the time window. If you click that S all solos are shut off.

He doesn't want to Mouse at all....

He wants a keyboard shortcut- if I am understanding him properly

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

hi YYR, may i ask, what did you make this macro with ?? was this on a mac or PC ??

and to the OP - i like the idea .. hopefully we can make this work without waiting for avid to create it .. or at least have something in the meantime ..

have you submitted this to ideascale ???

thank you john

It's just macro software, simple but can be very powerful

It is OSX only, but there are PC equivalents

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

ahh .. thank you .. i was not sure if you did it within Mac OS or 3rd party ..

cheers john

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

If you have an iPad running PT|Control (which I highly recommend - if only for the soft keys alone) you can assign a shortcut that does this…

The iPad/PT|Control is a great addition to the keyboard and mouse. If you don't have an iPad you can pick and old iPad2 dirt cheap these days.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

there's a great option .. i use PT|Control and use that for Toggle Mix/Edit Window .. did not think of it ..

awesome ..

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

PT|Control is probably the best thing Avid's done in a while. Surprised they don't charge for it.

SHHHHHHHH !!!! don't give them any ideas .. !!! haha

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

I'll give it a try!

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

i love using it .. NOTE: there is no Flip Faders to sends YET .. hoping for that since it came out ..

and it can't be configured any way you like .. ie: Faders in view and have the transport and some soft keys .. they need to work on the real estate and give us a few more options in some of the Empty spaces .. but so nice to have !!!

No crossing of protocols - i.e. You can't use a D-Cmnd and Eucon, otherwise I would love to try it as well

Really? You can flip between Transport and Soft keys at the bottom left with one button press.
You can also configure the soft keys anyway you like. I ignore the pages Avid set up and use 3 user pages that can be customized.

Also, unless you're on a laptop, just use the number keypad on your qwerty keyboard for Transport.

In case you are using a Eucon controller, you can use the EuCon Global Command -> Clear Solo

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

The clear solo button is in the counter in the transport bar and could be programmed with Keyboard Maestro (as long as you maintain a consistent transport bar setup).

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Rich, could you detail how you program that into Maestro? I might get it but not sure how to create a new action...
Been playing with it for a bit... The mouse click function that allows me to solo clear, also moves my cursor... Do you do differently? (not with mouse click?) and if not- is there a way to move the cursor back to its original position?
Also- If I'm on the mixer page, it selects something else...

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

It’s a wonderful program

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

I don't need this particular macro since I use a control surface, but I just programmed it in about 30 seconds to make sure it would work, and it does.

You might add a condition to not run if the front window does not contain "edit", or you could add a condition to toggle to the edit window if it's in the mix window.

You should check "Restore Mouse Location" in the details dialog for the action (the little gear icon opens it) if you want to return the cursor to where it was.

edit: just uploaded an example; it may need to have exact click location modified to run on your rig, and it's not particularly graceful, but it should give you the general idea: http://s3.amazonaws.com/Deliveries/Clear_Solo.kmmacros

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Thanks Rich! Could you also attach a screenshot of the macro so I could see what you did there?

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Why not just download and import the macro that I took the time to upload for you? You can then inspect it yourself.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

I just did. I changed the cursor location to match mine, but doesn't work... (does nothing)
EDIT: it was in a disabled group folder. I enabled it and now working...
Thanks!

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Damn, according to avid.com - Shame, cause I have an old ipad 2 lying around.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

If your iPad runs iOS 8 you should be good to go.
Give it a try. The Control app is free

Actually, I managed to install it, even though it says no on that link above, thanks! Just gotta set it up, as I don't have wifi at home studio at the moment.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Hey pals,

I'm kind of stuck on getting the iPad app to work.

After registering, it said I needed to install eucontrol on my laptop, so I just spent half an hour trying to find an installer, only to get 404 errors and such.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this all over the place?

Appreciate your helps.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

After registering through the Control app on the iPad, go to your my.avid.com account and look in your "My Products and Subscriptions" and look for the "Pro Tools | Control and EuControl" line item, then go to the "Product Details and Download Links Show" and click show.
Installers will be there.

You need to install
"EUCON Workstation Unified Install"

for Mac or PC depending on your laptop

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Pro Tools shortcuts limitations make me cry on a daily basis. Why oh why can't they have customisable shortcuts like Logic Pro. But no clear all solos keystroke shortcut?? It boggles the mind.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

The fact that you can't customize makes it so you can sit down on any Pro Tools rig anywhere in the world and get to work immediately. If customizing is that important, there are plenty of other DAW options. Clearing SOLO with a single mouse click is pretty easy:o

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Logic Pro lets you export you and import shortcut sets so I can also sit down at any Logic Pro rig in the world and use my customized shortcuts too. My shorthand with keyboard shortcut is so quick in Logic it drives me crazy with all the annoyingly unintuitive shortcuts in Pro Tools. Like in Logic zoom horizontal is Command-L and R, and zoom vertical is Command-Up and Down. On Pro Tools zoom horizontal is R an T but zoom vertical is Control Up and Down but only the tracks you have selected so you need another shortcut to select all tracks. Sigh.

The only reason I use Pro Tools is because Logic sucks at dealing with AAF and OMF.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

Is there now a way to create a clear all solo shortcut? Couldn’t find anything within the keyboard shortcuts.
It would be really great to be able to use eucon with a stream deck (without sound flow)..

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

When you say “now” do you mean in the current version of Pro Tools and Eucon?

Yes, you can create a soft key to clear solo. You cannot use Eucon on a streamdeck without Soundflow.

I’ve made a “Clear Solo” soft key on one of my S1’s. You could also make one for Avid Control

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

I know it’s possible within eucon hard and software.
But I was hoping there might be a keyboard shortcut within PT.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

There is still no Solo Clear shortcut within PT. I wrote a small app called KeyScope that does UI actions/shortcuts for PT. Solo Clear is among the included demo actions, and works very well. You can also map the action to a Stream Deck.

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

That looks amazing, thank you. Is there an earlier release supporting Mojave?

Re: CLEAR ALL SOLO shortcut
 

No, sorry, Catalina is the minimum requirement.
