Pro Tools Solo and Mute Preferences
The following Pro Tools preferences are related
to solo and mute behavior:
Solo Safe Locks out Solo Safe channels from im-
plied mute state when other channels are so-
loed.
Latch Solo Switches Determines whether press-
ing the SOLO switch on additional channels
adds to the current solo selection (known as ad-
ditive or latch on soloing), or only one channel
may be soloed at a time. This is defined in the
Pro Tools Operation Preferences.
Solo/Mute Follow Mix Groups Determines
whether soloing or muting individual members
of a mix group changes the status of the entire
group, or only of the individual member. If this
preference is enabled, an individual member
can still be changed independently of its group
by pressing the CTRL/CLUTCH switch. This is
defined in the Pro Tools Automation Prefer-
ences.
Solo Safe and Record Safe Modes
Channels can be placed into Solo or Record Safe
modes in which they are locked out from im-
plied mute or record states. Solo Safe channels
can still be muted.
