ProgAndy Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hi All. I like to record different versions of an audio track, compare it and then discart one. When I had a Mackie Control it was easy: - mute one track - hit play - with two fingers on the Mackie just simultanuously mute/unmute the two adiacent tracks I sold the Mackie. Now i understand that with v10.3 you have "track alternatives" and this allows the same (if recorded as alternative). If I have recorded e.g. a guitar arpeggio AND a piano arpeggio, and I want to check the song with either only the piano or only the guitar, do you have a trick/workaround to faster mute/unmute the two tracks? Thanks for your suggestions. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 A very quick way to A/B two tracks is to use Alt-Solo (click the solo button while holding down the Alt key): soloes that track (and anything in the same audio path), unsoloes everything else (except solo-safe channels, if any). Doing that will intantly offer A/Bing of the two tracks in isolation. If you need to A/B them within the rest of the mix, it's a bit trickier, though there is a way: in the Mixer, select all channels except these two tracks, and solo-safe them. then use the procedure above to alt-solo either of the two you want to compare.

ProgAndy Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Merci Arnaud. That does it. I've never used "solo safe". Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
