Solo and mute problems

[Poppa Bear]

Does anyone know why my Shift plus S for solo and Shift plus M for mute functions would be acting up? Any thoughts would be great.

PS. Of corse, I am selecting the track in the track list and still no go.

It should work fine for any selected tracks. Do solo and mute work correctly when you click on either button using VoiceOver? In other words, have you confirmed that it's just the shortcut functionality that isn't working or whether the functions themselves aren't working? Solo functionality can sometimes seem not to work if the All Group is inadvertently enabled since all tracks would follow. So, if you solo one track, all tracks become soloed and it sounds like everything is audible and nothing is soloed. With mute, however, with the All Group enabled, muting one track would mute everything so it's much more obvious. At any rate, I'd be curious to know whether the solo and mute functionality is not working, regardless of shortcuts.

If I am in the individual channel and click the mute or solo button it works fine. Also, when I use my arrow down and up to select a peace of audio to select for edet, to cut or coppy it does nothing either.

The problem is that I have a friend who's studio is down and he was payed to mix and master an album before his studio closed so I have been letting him come over and use my set up to work and some times I get back to my set up and have problems like this. ----- Original Message -----

Hi Poppa,

When down arrow or up arrow does not work for making a selection its usually because quick nav is on. :)

Just hit left and right arrows together, to find out what state its in.

YMMV

I wish it was that simple Chuck. I can use the down arrow to steak out a place to mark when I want to stop and start there, but the selection feature is a no go. Unfortunatly I use that quick selection with the up and down arrows to for alot of my editing and mixing, you know when a client takes that deep breath before they start singing, or clear their throat. I hope that some body tosses out a problem solver answer for me.

I thought it would've been a long shot but, since you mentioned that somebody else is using your system, all bets are off and you should certainly make sure that Link Track and Edit Selection is checked under the Options menu. If that isn't checked, it won't all work the way you expect. Hopefully, that helps. Let us know.

That was it Slau.

Thanks once again

Four things to check
Link time and edit, link and track and edit arre checked. Make sure that
the dynamic transport is unchecked, all under the options menu and
finally in preferences make sure that scrub follows selection. I forget
the exact verbiage but you will know when you see it.

Let us know because I'm curious as to what happened.

Hey Herman,

I guess you missed his previous reply. It turned out to be Link Track & Edit Selection which was unchecked.

Best,

Slau

Yeah I saw that about five minutes after I sent mine. Couldn't take it
back after that. LOL.

Glad it was sorted it out

[Poppa Bear]

The only thing that's strange about it is that the guy who used my set up
never unchecks anything in the option, but in preferences he will check one
thing and it must automaticly uncheck the track edit in the options or
something like that. Either way, thanks for the help.

he doesn't need to go into the options to make those changes. I believe as a sighted user he probably uses the tool bar to change things as needed based on what they are working on the project at the time.

[Slau Halatyn]

Yep, there are icons in the Edit window to toggle those settings.
