LogicIsDoomed Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) A querstion, I've been wondering about for the last 100+ years. In LPX's mixer, all my midi keyboard tracks have "mute" buttons. Why??? When click on the mute button, the midi continues to be audible cause it's midi information. So why are these mute buttons even there, if it does absolutely nothing??? What's the purpose/point? Is the mute button there just for decoration? Why not have a decorative "solo" button there as well? Edited September 30, 2023 by LogicIsDoomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution des99 Posted September 30, 2023 Solution Share Posted September 30, 2023 To explain historically the evolution of mute/solo buttons, from just muting/soling the MIDI tracks, through to having audio tracks where you now had a mute button that could do two things - mute the track (stop it from playback) like it does for MIDI data, or mute the *audio channel* the track was playing through, through to the separation of those two functions into the mute button, and the new "power" button for the track - would take a while. Well, there you go - I just did it in one sentence. For your external MIDI tracks, the track mute button shouldn't do "nothing" it should stop the playback of those MIDI tracks (and therefore your external MIDI instrument won't respond) - just as it did in Logic 1... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsDoomed Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) @des99 So based on your comments above, any idea why my mute button does nothing at all? Edited September 30, 2023 by LogicIsDoomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a screenshot of what you see? It works here, so I'd need to see what you are doing to be able to comment on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
