Shortcuts
◆
APPLY TO ALL CMUTE or SOLO:
clears or enables Mutes or Solos on all channels.
◆
APPLY TO ALL SELECTED CMUTE
or SOLO: clears/enables Mutes or Solos on all se-
lected channels.
If there is at least one channel strip being soloed,
pressing APPLY TO ALL CHANNELS and any
SOLO switch will clear all solos, regardless of the
solo state of the pressed channel strip.
If there are no channel strips being soloed,
pressing APPLY TO ALL CHANNELS and any
SOLO switch will solo all the channel strips.
Using the SOLO CLEAR Switch
The SOLO CLEAR switch, directly to the left of
the row of channel solo switches, flashes when-
ever any channel strip in the current session
(even those located off-bank) is in solo mode.
To clear all soloed channels (master un-solo):
■
Press SOLO CLEAR. The SOLO CLEAR switch
LED will stop flashing.
Pro Tools Solo and Mute Preferences
There are several Pro Tools solo and mute pref-
erences that Control|24 fully supports, as fol-
lows:
Solo Safe locks out Solo Safe channels from im-
plied mute state when other channels are so-
loed.
Latch Solo Buttons toggles Solo latching mode.
Solo/Mute Follow Mix Groups determines
whether soloing or muting individual members
of a mix group changes the status of the entire
group, or only of the individual member.
Solo and Record Safe Modes
Channel strips can be placed into Solo and
Record
Safe modes. When in these safe modes,
channels are locked out from implied mute or
record states, respectively.
If you attempt to record-arm a channel that has
been placed in Record Safe mode, the REC ARM
switch LED will not light.
When a channel is in Solo Safe mode, it does not
become muted as a result of another channel be-
ing soloed. Solo Safe channels, though pro-
tected from implied muting, can be
explicitly
muted at any time, using the MUTE switches.
To enable Solo Safe status on a channel strip:
1
Press SOLO SAFE. Its LED will flash.
2
Press SOLO on any channels you would like to
place in Solo Safe mode.
3
Press SOLO SAFE again. Its LED will light solid,
indicating that one or more tracks are in Solo
Safe mode.
4
Repeat the process to disengage any tracks
from Solo Safe mode.
