The distinction between mute and off here is a valuable one. I also agree that it's a workflow issue - therefore a system wide default is a great solution eg: Denis needs off not mute. I need mute more than off, but off is useful on occasoions too. The benefit of mute "notes only" as decribed is that controllers' are up to date with the timeline and that means that a return of the note stream will mean the modules/vsti/effect will be at the same point as the playhead not somewhere back in time. Maybe a centre click on the mute button will be off and the tab turn blue or somwething? or add an off column perhaps for a per track option.
yeah, that's a great solution imho ;) g ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
