Just create your sessions with a control outs bus (its in the advanced settings section of the new session dialog). You can then switch the solo model to "solo via bus", and get something extremely close to a traditional "listen bus". > Have a look at what is provided in this area by some > 'real' mixers, and ask the people who use them why > these things are what they are, and rather essential. and if you have a look at those "real" mixers you will notice that front-of-house/live-mixing desks are designed in quite different ways than the ones designed for use in a control room. soloing and muting in an FOH context can (by choice of the engineer) be very different from the way it works in a recording studio. there are two entirely different commercial markets for that stuff, and although its "trivially easy" to implement both designs in software, figuring out how to merge them into a coherent single beast is not. there have been lots of discussions about this on IRC in recents weeks in the context of 3.0, and things will be a bit different there. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
