This chapter shows how to do the following:

• Configure Solo and Monitor bus option
• Use solo
• Solo safe input channels
• Use the monitor bus

Selecting a Solo Mode
Three Solo modes are offered: Pre-Fader Listen (PFL),
After-Fader Listen (AFL) and Solo In Place (SIP). The Solo
mode can be selected on-screen.
Pre-Fader Listen (PFL)
PFL Solo mode sends the signal from explicitly soloed Input
Channels and FX Returns to the AFL/PFL Solo bus. The signal is
post-insert, pre-fader and pre-mute.
Mono input signals are sent to both sides of the Solo bus, and the
left and right sides of stereo input signals are sent to the corre-
sponding sides of the Solo bus.
PFL is the default Solo mode.
After-Fader Listen (AFL)
AFL Solo mode sends the signal from explicitly soloed channels
and solo-safe inputs to the AFL/PFL Solo bus. Soloing of output
busses is always AFL.
In AFL Solo mode, both input and output signals are sent to the
Solo bus post-fader and post-pan/balance, and are always panned
to stereo even if the Main busses are configured in L–C–R mode.
Monitoring Aux Busses with AFL
Linked Aux busses use true stereo AFL. When you solo a linked
Aux bus, the two busses are heard as a stereo pair on the Solo bus.
Mono Aux busses are heard as dual mono on the Solo bus.
Solo In Place (SIP)
SIP mode applies to Input Channels and FX Returns only. Solo In
Place sends the signal from the soloed channel to the Main and
Monitor busses. Signal is sent post-pan/balance.
To select the Solo mode on-screen:
1 Go to the Options > Busses page.
2 Under Solo and Monitor Operations, click the Type pop-up and
choose the desired Solo mode.
Solo States and Modes when Loading
Shows
Channel Solo States When you load a Show file, all solos are
cleared. Solo states are not saved with Show files.
Solo Mode Show files do not open in SIP mode. If you save a
Show file while in SIP, when you reopen the Show file, it will
open in PFL Solo mode.
You can customize how Aux /Variable Group busses and
AFL soloing interact. See “AFL Follows Auxes” on
page 130.
In SIP Solo mode, the soled channel(s) is (are) sent di-
rectly to the Main busses. Use this feature only at sound-
check.
