Hi guys:

Hope you all having been having a marvelous day. I'm facing a problem
currently. I tried continuing a sesseion I was working on yesterday
some minutes ago, but every time I select a particular track to solo
and push Shift S, the last soloed track keep getting soloed, even when
I don't select it. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'll
greatly appreciate your help here. Thanks! I'm going to browse through
the documentation while I wait to read from y'all. God bless!

Regards,

Dammie

In the process of searching for the problem, I got into the solo mode
submenu. There, I found that "solo in place" is checked alongside
"latch." Could solo in place be the problem? That is could solo in
place be the reason why the last soloed track is the only track that
soloed, even when it's not selected. As a result, no other tracks are
getting soloed. Thanks!

Best,

Dammie

Latching means whatever you solo will remain soloed. The "X or" option cancels previous solos so you only hear one thing unless you add Shift while pressing solo to add to the solo.

Morning Slau! I get the latch and s/r functions. However, there is
this other option, SIP "solo in place" which stays checked no matter
what I do. My problem is that a particular track stays solo and
unsoloed whether it is selected or not. The tracks I'm actually
selecting and soloing are not being soloed at all. When I push "shift
s" to solo them, this other track that seemed to be soloed last the
last time I worked in the session become solo instead. What do you
think is the cause of this? And how do I rectify the situation back to
normal? Thanks!

Best,

Dammie

Hi Dammie,

Is it possible you have that track "solo safe"?

It's possible that the track is in solo safe mode. I'd check that first. For what it's worth, you can use Flo Tools to tell you if there are any tracks either soloed or in solo safe. To turn off solo safe, Command-click the solo button. If you don't have a control surface, you can enable Flo Mouse and use Command+accent while focused on the solo button to Command-click it.
HTH,
Slau

Hi guys:

A wonderful Wednesday afternoon to you all. Thanks Chuck and Slau for
your time and support. Your 2cents are priceless. Solo safe was the
issue. I followed your directions and got out of that jam. Now, I can
proceed with my production. Thanks to you both and all. I'm forever
grateful for having you all. God bless!

Gratefully,

Dammie
