In ProTools, there are several preferences you can set
for solo and mute operation. These are Solo Latch, Solo
Safe, Solo follows Mix Groups, and Mute follows Mix
Groups. Dashboard will act and be updated in a manner
consistent with screen mute and solo functions for each
of these preferences. When a Mute or Solo is on, the
LED lights solid. Solo’ed channels will flash the LED’s on
Mute switches that are not actually muted. The Mute
LED’s on channels that are actually muted will be lit
solid.
Solo and Record Safe Mode
Channel strips can be placed into Solo or Record safe
modes by holding the ALT switch and pressing a

channel has been “safe’d” in this manner. ProTools will
show the record or solo buttons as grayed out on screen
in the Mix Window.

enable switch will have no effect. Press and hold
