Scribble Strips
Each of the twenty-four channels has its own
four-character scribble strip display. These dis-
plays often identify names or settings related to
their respective channel strip. In certain modes,
information will be spread across the scribble
strips of more than one channel.
Showing Name, Value and Group
Information in the Scribble Strips
Regardless of current configuration, if you press
SHOW CHANNEL NAMES the track name will
(re)appear. SHOW VALUE causes the scribble
strips to temporarily display the current value of
the fader setting for each track. SHOW GROUP
will put a small letter in front of the track name
to indicate groups a–z.
For more information about various Show Val-
ues and Show Channel Names functions, see
“Scribble Strips and Rotary Encoders” on
page 50.
Mute and Solo Functions
MUTE and SOLO switches are located above the
fader on each channel. The on-screen mute and
solo functions are equivalent to those on Con-
trol|24, are additive, or “latching,” by default.
This means that when you press the SOLO
switch on a channel, it is soloed
in addition to
any previously soloed channels.
Solo can be changed to non-latching in the
Pro Tools preferences, but the mute function
cannot be rendered non-latching.
Implicit and Explicit Mute/Solo Display
A flashing MUTE LED indicates an implied or
implicit mute. The channel is muted because
other channels are soloed. See “Solo and Record
Safe Modes” on page 63 for a description of how
to protect a track from implied muting.
The MUTE switch LEDs on channels that are ex-
plicitly muted are lit continuously (do not
flash).
To mute or solo a channel:
■
Press the channel MUTE or SOLO switch.
