QuickSolo is a system for checking individual signals or combinations of signals in the
mix. This is done by muting all channels except for the channel/s being soloed. It is
also known as 'solo-in-place' because the position and relative levels of the signal to
all the outputs is retained. QuickSolo affects the main outputs. This should not be
confused with the PFL/AFL monitoring system which affects only the monitor outputs.
QuickSolo is most useful during sound checking where you can listen to the contribution
of individual signals to the mix.
The GL4000 QuickSolo system lets you quickly solo selected channels using a two key
press that prevents accidental operation during a live performance. You can toggle
between your last selected solo setting and the full mix to compare the effect. You can
make selected channels 'solo safe' to prevent them being muted when QuickSolo is
activated. Typically you would solo safe the main outputs and the effects returns so
that the soloed channels are heard with effects. Safe channels can be previewed and
edited before operating QuickSolo. If not needed QuickSolo can be disabled.
