I got a session that I'm trying to figure out why I can't individually
solo or mute tracks. I'll try the VCA tracks very soon.

Hi Slau & HF,
Only show the track that you want to solo safe
This usually works every time!
Also when you close the window and re open it this helps also.
or turn off and on VoiceOver as a last resort!
Have you guys used the "VCA" tracks!
They Rock!!!
:)
YMMV

Hey HF,
The only trick would be to make sure your mouse pointer is on the solo
button before performing the modifier command along with the physical
mouse or trackpad.

When I toggled through the different states, I never got on solo safe
as one of them. I managed to just put the aux tracsk as solo and not
off safe solo. This time when I soloed individual tracks, I got
silence which I guess is progress. Although, there was one track that
I couldn't toggle from off safe solo to just solo. Is there any trick
for this? I got all the other tracks but this one...

Hi Herman,
I suppose there are four possible states for the solo button:
1. Solo button, which would be the normal, unengaged state, in other
words, off or not soloed.
2. selected solo button, when the solo button is engaged, in other
words, on or soloed.
3. off safe solo button, which means the solo button is in safe mode
but not engaged, in other words, off.
4. on safe solo button, which means the solo button is in safe mode
and it is engaged or on.
Until you get things behaving the way you'd like, I'd probably try
to disable all of the groups.

Just cause I get lost in the vernacular and voiceover reports things,
what should solo say. Should it say "off safe solo" or just plain
solo. Is it a three position toggle? Solo, off safe solo and onn safe
solo. I'll check again when I get in front of my rig again because I
only heard two things, off safe solo and just plain solo.
Should I de-activate any of the active groups. The all groups is not
active anymore.

Herman,
Just a few things to make sure:
The all group should be off because it'll screw with your ability
to solo.
In addition, all aux tracks should be solo safe. Display only aux
tracks and
systematically make sure they're all solo safe. Beyond that,
soloing any
audio track should work. Let us know how it goes.

Some of the tracks were on "off solo safe". When I held the command
key and clicked they just became normal solo buttons. Or at least
that
is what I understand anyway.
I'm still not able to solo or mute individual tracks.
I looked at the groups in case I could figure out something from
there. I made the all group active and and made the rest of the
groups
inactive and still can't solo or mute individual tracks.

Hi Herman,
It's possible that the auxiliary tracks are not "solo safe,"
that is,
when
any track is being soloed, the rest of the tracks are solo muted,
including
the aux tracks. Solo muting is different from engaging a regular
mute.
Actually, the process of soloing is really like muting all other
tracks
but
in an automated way. If you solo safe the aux track by
Command-clicking
its
solo button, it will not mute when any solo button is engaged.
Give it a
try. That might be the solution.

Perhaps my confusion might help someone else. I have a really
complicated
session that I will try to detail below. I don't understand why I
cannot
solo individual tracks. If I send all of the outputs to stereo 1/2,
only
then can I solo individual one's. But the routing is what is
throwing
me.
I get it, I understand why it was done this way but I don't get
why I
can't just solo or mute individual tracks and hear that change.
Right
now
only one track is playing, it's the full mix aux track which is
being
sent
out to 1/2 stereo. Only two other tracks are muted the instrumental
track
and the TV mix track. Hopefully someone else here understands
this and
can
explain. It's pretty complicated and I hope I do this justice. As I
explain, I'm only dealing with the audio in and audio out for each
track.
All are buses except the three tracks that are being sent via the
interface, 1/2 stereo.
all drums, output to drums aux
