15.5.4 SOLO
Solo implementations and options vary widely in the audio industry, but broadly
speaking, they provide several very useful functions. TriCaster’s Solo feature
(Figure 254) offers remarkable flexibility without overly
confusing complexity.
Consider a few basic design concepts:
 The Solo switch state has no impact on the audio mix(es)
sent to other outputs.
 Enabling Solo for a source sends its (after-fader) sound to
the Headphones output, and removes all other sources from that output.
 TriCaster’s Solo feature is normally what it called ‘exclusive Solo’ (or ‘X-Or’
type). This means that enabling Solo for a given source disables all other
Solo buttons.
 It is possible to use what is called ‘Solo latch’, ganging multiple sources for
Solo output. Hold down the Ctrl key and click additional Solo buttons to add
or remove their respective audio contributions from the latched Solo group.

It can be very useful to be able to preview one or more audio sources, doing so
without allowing the test sound to be audible on Program output. Typically, this
need arises in connection with testing microphones or other audio sources that will
be used in the production.
To audition an audio source in this manner:
1. First Mute the source, removing it from primary outputs.
2. Then enable Solo to hear it on the Headphones output.
