hi edgar, is there anything like the Pro Tools X-Cancels Solo Mode in Logic ??
thx john
Actually, I wish Pro Tools has the SOlo Mode "X-OR" implemented like Logic.
First, let's get the terminology straight because there are so many different terms:
Solo Latch: When you press a Solo Button, you only toggle that button without affecting any other Solo Button
Solo Exclusive: When you press a Solo Button, all other Solo Buttons that are enabled on other Channel Strips are disabled. This way you can go through and quickly solo only specific Channel Strips.
In Logic:
It is a simple as clicking with or without a modifier key
Solo Latch: Click the Solo Button
Solo Exclusive: Opt+click the Solo Button
In Pro Tools:
Here, Solo Latch is the default and if you want to switch to Exclusive (X-OR) you have click on the Options Menu, scroll down to Solo Mode and to open the submenu, scroll to the right and down to select X-OR. When you want to switch back to Solo Latch, you have to do the procedure all over again.
Because Pro Tools doesn't have that extensive Key Command arsenal that lets you freely customize them, you have to revert to third party utilities or the macOS System Preferences to create a workaround. You would guess that with such a professional app, a workaround for that simple feature would not be necessary
