Solo Safe on Aux Channels and Buses
As mentioned above, we recommend that you insert
the Console1 plug-in on all your DAW channels,
including single tracks, aux channels and buses. But
in order for Console1’s Solo function to work as
expected, you should set aux channels, eects send
channels, subgroup buses and the master bus—es-
sentially, any channels in your DAW mixer that are
not single audio or software instrument tracks—to
Solo Safe. If you are using an aux channel for the
incoming sound of a Rewire sound source, such as
Propellerheads Reason, this can however be viewed
as an instrument track. We consequently recom-
mend you do not set this to Solo Safe.
See “Understanding Solo Safe” on page 35 if
you’re interested in why this setting is needed for
Console1’s Solo function to behave as expected.
Otherwise, simply follow these steps:
• Open the Console1 plug-in on all aux channels
(except Rewire aux channels that handle incom-
ing sound signals), eects channels, subgroup
buses and the master bus in your DAW.
• Activate Solo Safe setting by clicking this but-
ton in the plug-in window.
Any time you press Solo on the Console1 hard-
ware, the text ” ” will appear in the On-
Screen Display above any channel that has been set
to  .
Integrated DAW Control
In Presonus Studio One and Cakewalk SONAR,
vital DAW functions can be controlled right from
the Console 1 hardware—allowing an even smooth-
er workow.
Track Selection
Console 1 allows the DAW track selection to be
reected in Console 1, and vice versa.
Volume and Pan
As always, the Console 1 Output Volume and Pan
knobs can be used to control the corresponding
settings in the Console 1 software—but they can
also be switched over to control the pan knob and
volume fader on the selected DAW track.
Solo and Mute
e Solo and Mute can also be switched to control
the selected DAW track or to control these settings
in the Console 1 software.
DAW Send Levels
Hold  and control the selected DAW track’s
send levels directly from the Console 1 hardware.
