This is a good idea! But I have not tried it yet (because it isn't implemented!), so I don't know whether I like it, but suspect I will. And what shall we call it? I don't like the current scheme and have always thought it needs a re-think, but have not got around to it. I like this idea, but we can't call it 'solo' as it's not. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=solo Although other reputable sources say that 'more than one input can be soloed at once' http://books.google.com/books?id=FLV21aleH-gC&pg=PA273&lpg=PA273&dq=%22after+fader%22+listen&source=web&ots=VlozwPSjBe&sig=EmV4jnHWNqd0lyUaWUEUMWXZ9AE so maybe we can. Nor can we use the label 'pfl' (pre-fader listen) (seen on many mixing desks) unless we want to ignore the envelopes, I think. A good choice may be 'AFL' (after fader listen), see http://www.geocities.com/mid...@sb.../mixchoos.htm and search for 'afl'. Or introduce a new term such as 'AEL' 'After Effects Listen' or 'After Everything Listen' or 'All sElected Listen'. Or just go with 'more than one input can be soloed at once'. I think I'm coming down to that one. Sorry for the ramble, let's not turn it not heated debate. Martyn |

I'll try it when I get home, but if I'm remembering correctly, it works the way you describe from the keyboard as well. Leland |

Hi Leland, I just tried it - it works on the keyboard too. solo one track shift+s unmute another track shift+u unmute a third track shift+u all tracks which haven't been soloed or muted show "muted".
