Tracktion 4 Reference Manual
79
When working with tracks that feed into other tracks, be aware that:
• Muting the destination track will effectively mute the source (sub-mix) tracks.
• Soloing the destination track will also solo all source tracks .
• Soloing a track that feeds into another track will solo both the source and the destination tracks.
To quickly clear the mute/sole state of all tracks, simply right click on any mute/solo control and select
the option reset all muted/soloed tracks.
In addition the mute/solo options, Tracktion also supports a solo isolate mode. When a track is in solo
isolate mode, it will not be silenced when soloing any other track.
To place a track in solo isolate mode:
• Right click on the track’s mute/solo control. A pop-up menu will be displayed.
• Select the solo isolate option. If it is ticked, the track is already in solo isolate mode.
Note that the “S” tab on the mute/solo control now reads “SI” (Fig.
3.4.5). This is another visual hint that you can use to see which tracks
have been placed in solo isolate mode.
Removing a track from the solo isolate state follows exactly the
same process as turning solo isolate on.
The Volume / Pan Filter
This lter allows you to set the volume level and panning of a track.
Clicking on this lter will display the volume and pan settings in the properties
panel (Fig. 3.4.6).
The rst parameter shown on the properties panel is volume (Fig. 3.4.7). Try
changing the volume value by dragging the slider around.
Watch the volume/pan lter icon in the lter section as you move the slider. Notice how the icon
changes to reect your volume adjustments. Try changing the pan value in the properties panel, and
again, watch the volume/pan lter icon while doing so.
