Do you have any PRE sends on some of the other tracks?

Do you hear the same audio if you solo the track from inside PT without using the Artist Mix?

Also do you have the fader to "pre" or "post" as asked before me? Important!

Let us know what happens.

Default Re: Solo isn't working right

Perhaps those 'other' tracks are in Solo Safe mode? From the Ref Guide:

Quote:
Solo Safe Mode
Pro Tools lets you solo safe a track. This prevents the track from being muted even if you solo other tracks. This feature is useful for tracks such as Auxiliary Inputs that are being used as a submix of audio tracks, or effects returns, allowing the audio or effects track to remain in a mix even when other tracks are soloed. It is also useful to solo safe MIDI tracks so that their playback is not affected when you solo audio tracks.

To solo safe a track:
  • Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Windows) the Solo button on the track. This prevents the track from being muted even if you solo other tracks. The Solo button changes to a transparent color in Solo Safe mode.
To return a solo safe track to normal:
  • Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Windows) the Solo button on the track again
If you still can't get it sorted out, please post (or link to) a screenshot of your Mix window.

The advice to click CMND + Solo on greyed out solo buttons fixed it for me.
