  • Tracks to busses solo's - this is a major oversight.

Never noticed before but I now see that whenever tracks are assigned to busses (eg: 3 guitar tracks and a tape delay emulation buss assigned to another buss named "GUITARS"), if I solo the guitar tracks, say 1 at the time, the assigned buss is not automatically soloed also.

I like it the way it is and would not support a change to soloing busses when you enable a Track solo.
 
If you want to hear whatever feeds into the buss, just solo the buss by itself.

It works the way most of us would expect it to work - this is a major undersight!

Ok, I'll bite. Would you please explain your logic ? If you do as I do and feed say 5 harmony tracks, a chorus on a buss , a harmony reverb on a buss all fed to a Harmony buss, why on earth would you like going to all the trouble of, if you just want to hear a solo of harmony 1  by . .  . soloing harmony track 1, soloing harmony chorus, soloing harmony reverb AND soloing the HARMONY buss - just hear a solo harmony track 1 and it's effects ??? And if you have say 45 tracks going, it's get kinda confusing finding the soloed tracks and busses. But I guess I'm just old and stupid.

We used to be paid by the hour to press all those buttons, that's the only change I see happening. I am happy that the software works pretty close to the way a large mixing desk and a room full of tape machines worked. Just the musicians are all in little icons now instead of breathing down your neck bumming smokes....

I'll bite back with the same question. Why would you need to solo the buses? Buses not in the direct output path don't get excluded from the output when you solo a track so you're not going to lose the contribution of send FX. And there's no need to solo the related buses to exclude unrelated ones because buses fed by tracks that aren't soloed will be silent (with the possible exception of noise producing plugins). So what's the concern?
 
I think you've never noticed because there's nothing to notice. It all works as expected without the redundant soloing of buses.

Brundley, The tracks are outputted to busses - In this case either guitar or harmony busses. If the busses are not soloed along with the track and send busses, there is nothing to hear.

There is something wrong with your system.
 
Soloing an individual track here means I hear that track and that track only, along with whatever contribution is made by any sends to other busses. Those busses are also audible.

I really don't think anyone has read the posts. How can there be something wrong with my system when you guys say it works exactly as you like it. It does not work as you think it does. Solo a track and the send busses go silent along with the output busses the track is assigned to. That's it.
