Solo not working

Post by midilance »

I've got a project with a lot of audio tracks. Usually when I click the solo buttons on the desired tracks and the Mix track plus it shuts down the other tracks and I hear only the desired tracks. Basic 101. That has stopped happening. Something is preventing it from working. What am I missing?

I'd had a lot of trouble last week with my setup. Just reinstalled DP. All is well.

There are many variations on when/how the Solo button works-or doesn’t, it can be dizzying.

Once, I accidentally pressed (still don’t know what) and it took me a half hour going through all the combinations with the pdf manual on screen before I straightened myself out. I hope not to do that again!
