Solo Isolate Mode
This feature is useful when you want a track,
or tracks, to remain on, even when a solo button is
pressed. For instance, if you want to individually
solo each track along with the drums, simply
isolate the drum channels, then press individual
solo buttons. Solo isolating effects returns is also
a common use for this feature.
• Hold the Alt key and click—or click and drag
across—any number of channel SOLO buttons to
isolate them from the solo action.
• Alt-click on a Solo that’s in Isolate mode to remove
it from Isolate status.
• Channels in Solo Isolate mode have blinking
SOLO buttons. In AFL and MIXDOWN solo modes
they’ll be heard even when other channels are
soloed.
• For example, if you always want to hear the FX
along with any soloed channels, put the FX
channel in Solo Isolate mode.
• Not active during PFL solo status.
• Can also be turned on and off in the Channel List
(Ctrl+B).
