Feature request: Keyboard shortcuts for Unsolo all, Unarm all and Archive track

Hey there!

A few options in the Control Bar are currently not available for keyboard shortcut bindings.

It would be very handy if the following were available:
  • Solo/Unsolo all tracks
  • Arm/Unarm all tracks
  • Archive track

You can vote for it in the Bakery:

  • Solo/Unsolo all track
 




 
This would indeed be handy and I belive it has been requested before. In the meantime you can assign 'solo all selected tracks' and 'solo override all selected tracks' to shortcuts. Not exactly what you want, but very useful on many occasions.

It is right there, on the top of the screen- cant you lift a finger and click a mouse?

Arm/unarm all tracks is CTRL + R. Hmmm, I don't know why you'd ever want to arm all tracks at once...

...currently not available for keyboard shortcut bindings.

  • Archive track

 
You would need to click on the track first to select it. You might as well just click on the archive button.

I can't help wondering why one would want to solo all tracks? Is that not the same as not soloing anything?

The same reason there is a dedicated button in sonar that does exactly that - it is more about its inverse function of cancelling all solo's. No reason not to have the ability to assign a keyboard shortcut to such a common function.
 
Some like keyboard shortcuts in their workflow, others not so much. What's with all the snark in this thread? Dude just made a suggestion!

fwiw, you could write a CAL for unsolo all. then bind the CAL.

First off, I wasn't addressing you.
 
Secondly, there is no snark here -  it was a genuine question  (to the OP) as I couldn't imagine a scenario where the ability to solo all tracks might be useful, so wind your neck in and go and get yourself a tinnie and  throw another shrimp on the barbie or something useful rather than trying to act like you're the OP's big bro, ok dude ?

On a wider issue, it is odd that we need convoluted workarounds, such as writing CAL scripts, because SONAR doesn't expose more parameters for keybinding.
I find using shortcuts to be WAY quicker than having to grab mouse/navigate to icon/click button

Absolutely Jonesey - and it is perplexing that in the last couple of updates bindings have disappeared from the list, but you are still able to load keyboard shortcuts exported from previous versions to use them. Screensets and the ability to lock/unlock them is an example.

Bruce - you're obviously completely right, it's the "UNsolo all tracks" feature I'm after. :)
 
I click that solo button in the Control Bar with the mouse all the time to remove all solos, so having it bindable for a keyboard shortcut would be a real timesaver! Feels weird that it's been forgotten...
 
Similarly, it would be nice to be able to "UNarm all tracks" that might be armed, using a keyboard shortcut.
 
And finally, being able to Archive a track using a single shortcut would also be convenient. (You can do a convoluted workaround and hit SHIFT-F10, which is the equivalent of a right click, and then going "A", if I remember correctly...)
 
Take care!

Yeah, just bought Sonar Pro after years of 8.5.3 and X1, none of the feature requests made for DECADES have been addressed, like vari-speed, latching auto-play, latching auto play-then-record-in-to-out, "unsolo all" and "un-arm all" shortcuts, etc...
 
FWIW, you can work around it by assigning Ctrl+S in track view shortcuts to "solo", then when working- Ctrl+A (select all) then Ctrl+S will un-solo all tracks. It's a workaround, but- no mouse. Same with defining Ctrl+R to arm track, etc.
 
So many things have been removed that were essential and functional to me after 8.5.3. it's hard to use the new software for me, I bought the newest for support, but will run my studio in 8.5.3 since it has so much more flexibility in configuring, especially in custom defining the GUI. I have NO idea what the Bakers are thinking when they remove so much functionality in customization! Dang. I mean, auto-blacking out the waveform display when adding a volume envelope!??? WTF!

Oh, after Ctrl+A, you have to hit Ctrl+S twice, not once, sorry.
