Solo and mute tips

Hi folks you may already know this but through trial and error i've learnt a few tips regarding soloing and muting in Logic pro 7.2. Firstly selecting a region and either pressing 'S' or 'M' solos or mutes it respectively.

 

When a region is soloed in the above way if you then drag a box around other regions they are then soloed; this is great for isolating neighbouring backing vocals, horn lines etc without having to click on the individual tracks in the arrange or track mixer windows.

 

Lastly as David pointed out to me, if you want to solo or mute tracks in real time whilst a song is playing, do it in the track mixer you get an instant response whilst in the tracks in the arrange window you get a slight delay which can miss the desired effect.

Worth noting too - muted regions use less CPU than muting the chanel strip, which only prevents the output from getting through but the regions are still being processed anyway.

Also worth noting, if you have cycle on and press s/m for solo and mute and click the track in the track list then only the regions in the cycle area will be muted or soloed.
