Solo'd track mutes itself?

Hey there folks,
I feel like I must be overlooking something basic here, but I can't understand what;

I have a track with audio that is only play-enabled in solo mode (and is muted the rest of the time). Most of the time this works as intended, but if I need to adjust the level of the track while it's playing, the track mutes the second I touch the fader. I have to manually re-enabled it to get it to play. I have some files where this happens, and other files where it doesn't, and I can't see any difference between them. Perhaps there's a preference somewhere that I'm missing?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

It almost sounds as if touching the fader sends a message to engage the mute button.

Have you made sure you don't have any controllers attached to the faders? If you right click on a problematic fader, what do you see in the contextual menu? Does it say something about "unattach" a controller?

Thanks for the reply. I do have an option to attach or unattach a MIDI controller, but doing so doesn't seem to impact the problem.

Also, to clarify, it isn't actually 'muting' the track, it's un-play-enabling while I'm in solo mode.

I've tried systematically removing each MIDI device to determine if something is sending or echoing something unintentionally, but no dice.

In a weird twist, this doesn't occur when I adjust the fader in the mix window. Only when I adjust it in the channel strip.

Just to follow up and close this one...we figured it out.

Apparently, this was being caused by the preference to "solo front-most MIDI edit window". Unchecking that preference resolved the problem. Not really sure how those two things are related, but it seems to be fixed.

Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know.

So you were bitten by one of DP's very useful features! This special solo mode is awesome because it acts like a completely new solo setup (i.e., you can solo stuff by what you see in each edit window, in addition to the other 2 regular modes).

Option-clicking the solo button in the counter takes you straight to the Preferences, so it can be quickly turned on or off in 3 quick moves.

Can you change fader and mute automation while in solo mode now?
