The trackpad was only used for navigating purposes. I used an actual mouse for the clicking part. I thought that I could utilize the trackpad in the clicking too. But I haven't quite gotten that. It was so much easier getting to each individual tracks solo button using the trackpad than using t

Ah, if track pad commander is on, this would be a problem. That perhaps explains the solo button issue. Slau On Sep 17, 2012, at 7:21 PM, HF wrote: > Magic trackPad > > On 9/17/2012 10:50 AM, Slau Halatyn wrote: >> Hi Herman, >> >> I can't say, with any certainty, that the mouse pointer will

Herman, If track outputs are being routed to something other than outputs 1 and 2, naturally, you'll need a way to monitor those other hardware outputs. Remind me, what are you using as an interface? Do you have multiple outputs connected to a mixer of some sort? If 1 and 2 work fine, then the

Yes. When everything sent out to 1/2 stereo, I can solo/mute at will and here my changes. The routing that I have within the session makes sense. At least on paper. But...When trying to work with it, I don't get it because soloing/muting should work? Shouldn't it? On 9/16/2012 8:00 PM, Slau H

I had it turned on in order to interact and find where I wanted to be very quickly. The track[ad is awesome. Much faster than using VoiceOver to find something. Should I be turning it off when I do find what I want? On 9/16/2012 7:58 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: I've never had any problems with it.

Hey HF, The only trick would be to make sure your mouse pointer is on the solo button before performing the modifier command along with the physical mouse or trackpad. slau On Sep 13, 2012, at 10:32 PM, HF wrote: > When I toggled through the different states, I never got on solo safe as one

When I toggled through the different states, I never got on solo safe as one of them. I managed to just put the aux tracsk as solo and not off safe solo. This time when I soloed individual tracks, I got silence which I guess is progress. Although, there was one track that I couldn't toggle from

Hi Herman, If your PT rig has "VCA" tracks available you should check them out! All you half to do is make a group say "8 drums group" then make a VCA track and assign the "8 drum group" to that vca and Everything is just "BOB":)! BTW VCA tracks were introduced in to PT with version 7.2. They make

Hi Herman, I suppose there are four possible states for the solo button: 1. Solo button, which would be the normal, unengaged state, in other words, off or not soloed. 2. selected solo button, when the solo button is engaged, in other words, on or soloed. 3. off safe solo button, which means the

Herman, Just a few things to make sure: The all group should be off because it'll screw with your ability to solo. In addition, all aux tracks should be solo safe. Display only aux tracks and systematically make sure they're all solo safe. Beyond that, soloing any audio track should work. Let u

Hi Herman, It's possible that the auxiliary tracks are not "solo safe," that is, when any track is being soloed, the rest of the tracks are solo muted, including the aux tracks. Solo muting is different from engaging a regular mute. Actually, the process of soloing is really like muting all oth
