Zippy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Hi, I need a solution for a simple thing. I want to engage "solo" on an audio track and once I switch solo off, this channel should automatically get muted. I tried the environment and got a solution via a button leading to some transformers. This works fine, but I dont want the extra button. I just want to toggle "solo" and "mute" automatically on the same channel ... Can somebody help ? Best, Zippy.

Eriksimon Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 You do not have to toggle: if you mute a soloed track, it mutes. To get exactly what you wanted you'll need to assign them both to one external MIDI switch, using cmd-L (MIDI learn). You can then (in the Controller Assignments window, expert view) invert the multiplier on one of them (default is 1.00, change it to -1.00).

Zippy Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 You do not have to toggle: if you mute a soloed track, it mutes. Hi Erik, thanks for replying. But what does happen exactly, when I hit "mute" on a "soloed" track ?It mutes, right. ... to "unsolo" this track, I have to hit "solo" again and that´s not what I want. I need a solution for hitting "solo" -> track is in "solo" mode, I hit "solo" again -> track is in "mute" status. And I want this with no extra buttons or controllers ... Best, Chris.

Zippy Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi Shiver, Thanks, I found this already and it helps a little, but it´s not what I search for ... in this environment patch there is a button to control the function and I do not want an "extra" button. Simply hit "solo" on -> solo, then switch "solo" off -> mute ... Best, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a solution for hitting "solo" -> track is in "solo" mode, I hit "solo" again -> track is in "mute" status. Chris. And why not do exactly that, only with the mute button? So the track is always in solo, you hit mute > it's muted, you hit mute again > it's soloed. Then you can actually do it with one key. It is not possible to assign one keycommand to two actions. That can only be done with controller assignments. If you really really want it exactly the way you describe it, there may be one possible solution, using the Caps Lock keyboard. Have to test that first though, not sure if it can do what I think it can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Mixer screen, you click on the Solo button and the channel will solo, click on solo again and the track mutes. There is no 'extra' button.

shivermetimbers Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Screenshot. The Audio (reference) channel is cloned in the Environment using Opt key when selecting and dragging the channel. The transformer is then connected between the two and mapped so that 1 an 0 are reversed. Weird, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Me timbers did shiver! You put a transformer... BETWEEN the SAME channel strip - yes, between the same channel strip... and all it does is change (any) data byte 3 into data byte 9... That's some serious Mogic (Logicmagic) I'm disproportionately impressed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not work with the keycommand though, only via mouseclick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The Audio (reference) channel is cloned in the Environment using Opt key when selecting and dragging the channel. I was going to say... no need to make a copy of the channel strip! But then I clicked the link and I notice I already said that 3 years ago.

Hi David, I tried to cable the output of the transformer directly to the input of my track channel I want to control ... does not work ... only the "cloning" technique is doing the job ...

You can add a delay (set to 1 tick for example) after the transformer - then cable it back into the same channel strip. It then works during playback only (which is when you'd want to use this anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
