It seems like a workable method. :) Thanks.

RE: Solo Confusion,

Just to quench my curiosity - not directly related to this but kinda all tied into historical behaviors of aux sends - if I'm tracking and I mute a track, does that signal remain in the send/cues? I understand the OP's solo behavior and I suspect (like me) he'll also occassionally mute tracks in the master during tracking. Thanks.

RE: Solo Confusion,

Yes, you have to open the I/O box to only mute master but not the sends; I suspect it's the desired behavior in most cases, maybe an added action to disable/enable the master send would be nice?

RE: Solo Confusion,

Thanks. I asked because I was away (darned iPhone is a curse, I always have Internet :)), and couldn't check. Again, I can only speak for myself and the people I've actually personally seen do it but those things are kinda tied together at the hip. Imagine tracking a vocalist but in the control room only listening to the vocal being recorded and mabye just the piano, while the vocalist's cue mix has all the instruments and/or whatever the vocalist requested. Obviously, one way to do that is just hit the mute buttons in the mixer for those groups or channels. That same option I spoke about earlier "Mute Pre-Send When Mute" applies to both solo and mute since solo just causes mutes. So it covers both. Make any sense? Look at it this way... rather than soloing the vocal, piano and strings... I just mute the drum group (which in my case also contains the bass) to only hear the vocal, piano and strings? Same result pushing fewer buttons.

RE: Solo Confusion,

Well it looks like this might be solved now. Havent checked it out yet. Heres another method that may or may not be worth trying. ---------------------------- Create a new track called 'Cue track' as the first track in the project and solo it. Disable its master/parent send and add a hardware output to your headphone channels in the tracks i/o. Now route each track you want going to the headphones directly to the 'Cue Track', using recieves in the cue tracks i/o. That means if you have tracks in folders, dont route the folder to the cue track, route the tracks in the folder individually. Its probably quicker to 'recieve from all tracks' and delete any not needed. Route them post-fx to create a seperate cue mix completely, if you are using folders in your project that is or if the performer wants some different monitoring levels from the actual project. Then create a new track called 'Master' as the second track. Solo it, make it a folder and make the last track in your project the 'end folder' track. This 'Master folder' will then contain all the tracks in the project except the 'Cue Track'. Now, everything should work as you like. Soloing wont affect the cue mix and you can alt-solo a track to hear it soloed exclusive (ie. without any of its sends, if it has any) if you like. Just make sure if you add any new tracks they go into the 'Master folder' and get routed to the cue track. Ive attached an example project(without any audio, just add your own) so you can check out the routing for yourself. If we could optionally make the Master solo behave like a track solo, there would be no need for a 'Master' folder track.

RE: Solo Confusion,

Here's the same thing in Logic. Aux 1 is receiving the send and then outputting to hardware output 3-4. I mute the source track taking it out of the master, track 2, and the pre-fader send and it's hardware output is still hot. Solo works a little differently. It uses solo defeat to accomplish what we talk about here. Interesting... a solo defeat feature in Reaper would accomplish this exact same thing with one mouse click on the faux hardware channel's solo button like Alt-Click here.
