deactivated for the channel previously switched to solo. This enables you to quickly "walk
through" individual channels.
To listen to the AUX return channels on the channels switched to "solo", select "Global:
Solo safe" mode as well.
Note: While in "Global: Solo exclusive" mode, to still be able to listen a single channel in
"Solo exclusive" mode, click the channel's "solo" button while holding down the "Shift" +
"Alt" keys.
If you have already set "Solo exclusive" as the global solo mode, the same key combination
deactivates "Solo exclusive" mode in order to hear multiple channels "solo" at the same
time.
Buses and routing
AUX buses
An AUX bus combines all signals of the corresponding AUX sends from the individual
channels. AUX buses are usually used for controlling real-time effects via the volume curve.
For this purpose, part of the signal of the desired mixer channel is sent to the AUX bus
("AUX send") where effects are added. The fader of the AUX bus represents "AUX return".
Note: AUX tracks normally don't contain objects in the arranger view. They provide objects
on other tracks with effects.
Submix buses
A submix bus combines several tracks. It controls the volume, panorama, and effect
settings of all tracks that are "routed" to the submix bus. For example, all drum tracks (hi-
hat track, bass drum track, etc.) may be combined as one submix bus so that the entire
drum kit may be controlled via the volume controller of the submix bus.
Creating submix/aux buses
 An AUX/a Submix Bus can be created in the Mixer at any time.
 To create an AUX bus, click with the right mouse button on the number of the channel in
the mixer. In the context menu, select "Insert tracks -> New AUX bus". Another option
for adding an AUX bus is to access an unused slot in the AUX area of the track
editors or the mixers. This creates a new AUX bus automatically.
 If an AUX bus has already been created, you can the feed the signal of the previously
created AUX section into the the newly created AUX bus.
 To integrate a submix bus, click with the right mouse button on the number of the
channel in the mixer. In the context menu, select "Insert tracks -> New submix bus".
The submix channel is integrated behind the channel that is accessed. If the output of
several previous channels is now routed through this bus, the volume of these signals
may be controlled via the newly created bus.
 Right clicking the number of a channel provides an option to select between the
properties "AUX bus", "Submix bus", or even both for the respective channel strip.
