Solo button does not mute a certain track...

[SantoPeligro]

Hello, longtime Ardour user, and now finally getting Mixbus setup and very happy with it.

The only significant problem I've had is that I have one session where whenever I solo any track, track 5 continues to play through the assigned busses and the master channel. I have looked at the signal routing on both qjackctl as well as the Audio Connections in MB3.

There was a mysterious third channel in addition to left and right outs for track 5, however this does not seem to be connected to anything. I have deleted the third out, but it didnt change anything.

Also, the master doesn't even show up in Audio Connecitons or qjackctl connections. Is that supposed to be the case?

I was convinced this was some boneheaded mistake on my part, but after looking at the routing, I'm scratching my head.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

You gotta love the manual
I have found the parts that tell you how to activate solo isolate or solo safe.
Anybody found the part that tells you how soloing behaves if you do that ?

Solo-safe (aka. Solo-lock) locks the current solo state. No matter what happens the current state is retained and the solo-button itself is insensitive.

Solo-isolate overrides the implicit mute with solo-in-place mode. Soloing Track A implies muting Track B, unless Track B has solo-isolate set.

PS. you can also right-click on the Solo button to en/disable either option.

Is it me being dumb, not being able to find that explanation in the manual ?

Well, you solved MY problem... It's a feature I never ever thought to utilize and totally glossed it over in the manual. I was convinced it was in the routing, even telling myself I could hear phasing issues in the mixdowns. Clearly not the case.

Rather than complain about the manual I will file under "testimony of the richness of features."

You my hero, DINGO!
