Solo and Mute Status
Indicators in the Edit Window
Pro Tools 10 provides two new visual indicators
in the Edit window for quickly seeing whether or
not any tracks in the session are soloed or
muted. This is especially useful for sessions with
a lot of tracks where tracks that are soloed or
muted may be scrolled out of view.
Track Solo Indicator Lights yellow when any
track in the session is soloed. When no tracks in
the session are soloed, the Track Solo indicator
appears dim green. For systems using Satellite
Link, the Track Solo indicator lights dim yellow
when a track is soloed on any satellite system.
If the Track Solo indicator is lit, you can click it
to clear all solo’d tracks in the session.
Track Mute Indicator Lights orange when any
track in the session is muted. When no tracks in
the session are muted, the Track Mute indicator
appears dim green.
Note that because Mute is an automatable mix-
ing function, the Track Mute indicator does not
function to clear all mutes when clicked.
Automation Follows Edit
Indicator
Pro Tools 10 provides a visual indicator in the
Edit window to show whether or not the
Automa-
tion Follows Edit
option is enabled. When the Au-
tomation Follows Edit indicator is lit, the option
is enabled. When it is unlit, it is disabled. You
can also click the Automation Follows Edit indi-
cator to enable or disable the option.
In lower versions of Pro Tools, you have to view
the option in the
Options menu to visually deter-
mine whether or not it is enabled.
