Chapter 15: Solo and Monitor Busses
Solo Bus Modes
Three Solo modes are offered: Pre-Fader Listen (PFL),
After-Fader Listen (AFL) and Solo In Place (SIP).
• In AFL or PFL mode, soloing only affects what you hear
on the dedicated stereo AFL/PFL Solo bus, which feeds
the Monitor Bus.
• In Solo In Place mode, soloing only affects what you hear
in the Main busses.
Pre-Fader Listen (PFL)
PFL Solo mode sends the signal from explicitly soloed Input
Channels and FX Returns to the AFL/PFL Solo bus. The signal
is post-insert, pre-fader and pre-mute.
Mono input signals are sent to both sides of the Solo bus, and
the left and right sides of stereo input signals are sent to the
corresponding sides of the Solo bus.
PFL is the default Solo mode.
After-Fader Listen (AFL)
AFL Solo mode sends the signal from explicitly soloed chan-
nels and solo-safe inputs to the AFL/PFL Solo bus. Soloing of
output busses is always AFL.
In AFL Solo mode, both input and output signals are sent to
the Solo bus post-fader and post-pan/balance, and are always
panned to stereo even if the Main busses are configured in
L–C–R mode.
Monitoring Aux busses with AFL
Linked Aux busses use true stereo AFL. When you solo a linked
Aux bus, the two busses are heard as a stereo pair on the Solo
bus.
Mono Aux busses are heard as dual mono on the Solo bus.
Solo In Place (SIP)
SIP mode applies to Input Channels and FX Returns only. Solo
In Place sends the signal from the soloed channel to the Mains
and Monitor busses. Signal is sent post-pan/balance.
Selecting a Solo Mode
The Solo mode can be selected on-screen.
To select the Solo mode on-screen:
1
Go to the Options page and click the
Busses
tab.

Solo States and Modes when Loading Shows
Channel Solo States
When you load a Show file, all solos are
cleared. Solo states are not saved with Show files.
Solo Mode
Show files do not open in SIP mode. If you save a
Show file while in SIP, when you reopen the Show file, it will
open in AFL Solo mode.
In SIP Solo mode, audio is sent directly to the Main busses.
Use this feature with caution.
