Switching between two tracks on playback

Hello All,

Nice forum! New member!

My first question relates to soloing between to similar tracks during playback. I want to be able to compare them on the fly, switching between them with the least amount of user input (a single mouse click or a midi button for example...).

You can see an example of this in SONAR in this video at 37min57sec. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYTlN6wjcvQ

I looked in the doc for automation and mute or solo links, no luck so far...

Thanks!

    EASY..... open the program.... move the two tracks SIDE BY SIDE so this is easier.

    NOW.... click ONE of the SOLO buttons...it turns green  place your pointer on it ( the solo button) and RIGHT CLICK. select GROUP and choose one of the colors at random.

    NEXT ...choose the other solo button but do not click it.... instead, Right click it and choose the SAME color GROUP.... select it.

    Now, when you click either solo button the tracks will switch.....

    If you are doing that in a mix to see which track works best.... use the MUTE button instead and group them the same way described above..... if you choose solo, you'll only hear the soloed tracks..... mute will let you hear the background tracks and only the unmuted one....
