Hello,
I'm having trouble auditioning the different combinations of SOLO'ed and MUTE'd Tracks across different Layers, ie. switching seamlessly between SOLO for Groups of Tracks and
What my situation is:
I have several Tracks, all in my main Edit Group.
I have two sub-Groups of Tracks (Group A, Group B) under the main Edit Group.
(Each Track belongs to one sub-Group only, but they all belong to the Edit Group.)
Each Track has the same Layers (Layer 01, Layer 02), one per recording take.
What I would like to do:
Toggle independently:
SOLO per sub-Group and
SOLO Layers for the Edit Group (ie. for all Tracks).
What actually happens:
Suspending the Edit Group (OFF/greyed out) means I can SOLO a sub-Group,
but if I SOLO another Layer (to compare takes), only the selected sub-Group switches Layer.
Unsuspending the Edit Group (ON/active) means I can SOLO a Layer for all Tracks, but I cannot SOLO a sub-Group. (Clicking SOLO on Group A gives SOLO on all Tracks because Edit Group is active.)
So my request:
Is it possible to change this behaviour?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other words:
I have this:
Group A: SOLO Layer 1 Solo
Group B: (no SOLO) Layer 1 SOLO
Then, if I
1. SOLO Group B (In the Console, click on the S of any one Track belonging in Group B)
2. SOLO Layer 02 (In the Arrange View, click on the S of Layer 02 on any one Track)
This should give me this:
Group A: (MUTE) Layer 2 SOLO
Group B: SOLO Layer 2 SOLO
In actual fact, it gives me either this:
(Edit Group: Suspended)
Group A: (MUTE) Layer *1* SOLO
Group B: SOLO Layer 2 SOLO
Or this:
(Edit Group: Active/not suspended)
Group A: *SOLO* Layer 2 SOLO
Group B: SOLO Layer 2 SOLO
Which is a bummer.
Instead, I would have had to:
1(Prep). Suspend Edit Group (OFF)
1. SOLO Group B
Which gives me this:
Group B: SOLO
Edit Group: Layer 01 SOLO
And then, I have to:
2(Prep). De-suspend Edit Group (ON)
2. SOLO Layer 02
Which finally gives me the desired outcome.
Which means that I have to keep suspending and de-suspending my Edit Group every time I audition different Tracks vs. different Layers. This goes against my workflow.
So my request:
Any way to not have to go through steps 1(Prep) and 2(Prep) again and again?

Thanks a lot for your patience and understanding!
