Eriksimon Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 That's all there is for a FOLDER track. The other buttons are on the individual tracks still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT3_Jon Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I swear there use to be a "solo" button as well in Logic 7. Perhaps I'm mistaken though...but a solo button would be VERY nice, and seems very possible! If you can mute a folder, why cant you solo it?

Well, maybe because soloing is trickier than muting, since soloing is the inverse of muting, in a way. And you can achieve this group muting by either routing all tracks to the same aux, or by assigning them all to the same subgroup or even to the same (audio/instrument/mixer) object. So there are three alternatives to proverbially skin the same virtual cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT3_Jon Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 yeah, I know. it just seems odd you can solo the tracks in a folder, but cant solo the folder? As Early from firefly would say "Does this seem right to you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namron Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 even stranger: when you pack the regions as a 'take folder', all the track header buttons are applicable!!! this problem is only with the regular track folders. &^%!!@#%## Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 That's all there is for a FOLDER track. The other buttons are on the individual tracks still. I do not even have the 'record enable' button and i know, from a tutorial, that it is possible to record onto a folder track from the arrange window and i know that the 'solo' button should be in the track header too. perhaps it is a bug? You can still record to any track inside the folder itself, I can't see a use for a complete folder of tracks to all record simultaneously, for that you'd use Groups I assume... (disclaimer: I never record multiple tracks at once, but this is what makes sense to me in this case) But I might be wrong, I never had LP 7, so I don't know if that feature was changed in LP8 or LP9, but I don't think it is a bug, actually. In that utoup tut, what was the Logic version used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cycloptic Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I just watched a tutorial on MacProVideo called Producing with Folders where the "normal" folders had mute and solo buttons on the track header. These were folders packed with the Shift-Cmd-F key command. I wonder how the instructor was able to do this. cycloptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched the same tutorial on MAcPro Video and this is why i am so frustrated...i know that it IS possible! perhaps this instructor hacked his copy of logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Guys, be patient, maybe Rounik can comment - he works there. Are you all positive this was in Logic 9? Is it a free/demo video? If so, can you link to it? Annieway, I have packed three folders (audio only) in my current project, and all that shows is the mute button. But maybe there are specific conditions that must be met in order for all the buttons to appear on the folder track - Idunno. Hmm... maybe there need to be (only?) MIDI tracks in a folder (for the buttons to appear). Maybe with just audio files you only get the mute button? Again, Idunno... the pic in the manual also shows a solo button: http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/Art/S00/S0066_FolderA.png ...which appears to contain unidentifiable tracks (well, at least one is audio), as far as I can discern... http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/Art/S00/S0067_FolderB.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTMusic Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi You need to set Preferences:Audio:General:Track Mute/Solo mode to SLOW to get both buttons. CCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
