Hi Dave -

That's because there isn't one. He has simply superimposed the BIAB mixer onto the RealBand screen, hence the "wishful thinking" comment.

Which is really silly since there are solo and mute buttons on the Tracks screen behind the mixer..


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Clicking the checkmark on a track (by the track name) will mute it.
Highlite any track and solo it.

I realize it is one more click to solo a track.

As I said in another post, you can ctrl-click multiple tracks to solo them. However, as Musocity pointed out, you can't then select multiple bars from the chord chart to play; it selects all tracks when you do that. But in the tracks and mixer window, you can ctrl-click to select multiple tracks to solo.

thanks john i only asked as im having problems getting the volumes to stay i`m using garritans aria and its very hard to keep the volumes at a level they seem to drift when you shut down the mixer on the Aria which you use first to set the volumes on the tracks you use the big band and jazzband instruments on,so you can never get the tracks volumes to stay ok over all and the main mixer seems a bit useless overall

You do know the existing mixer window can be sized to float over the tracks window.

This is just to show that BB has solo mute buttons but RB don't, in BB you can only solo one track at a time, so when they put it in RB you would need to be able to solo more than one track at a time. In RB at the moment it is a pain in the ass soloing the tracks you need to hear and them staying soloed especially if you are working with a hell of a lot of tracks.

I don't understand?!?! RB has solo buttons on both the tracks view and the Mixer view?!?!

ML, what am i missing? I can solo one or all the tracks in RB, 1. hold down ctrl and hit click each track you want and hit solo. 2. hold ctrl, and click the solo button on each track.

The solo is the "S" button on the tool bar, and the mute is the green check mark on each track.

Are you saying that it does not stay solo-ed? Or that you want a solo button on each track?

Please clarify.

Repeating what you said does not clarify what you mean, although i understand now. It is there, just a different step process, i guess i am just so used to it.

Is the fact that you click any track and it unsolos the others what you object to?

Ok click the blue solo button, use the ctrl key to select the tracks you want to solo

now select the region you want to hear

now click "Play Selected Area"

now select another region you want to hear

Where is this "play selected area"? I looked under every tab and could not find it. I right clicked the track in the wave file, and the track area.

I did as you asked I was able to:

1. solo any or all tracks i want with the ctrl key and those played fine.

2. select a region or area of a track, and hold ctrl, and have the selected area apply to more than one track. But hitting play made it play the soloed tracks but not the selected areas only, it kept playing after the highlighted area, and only on the soloed tracks.

Next i opened cakewalk MC5 and selected two tracks to solo and selected an area, and it played both selected tracks, but did not single out the highlighted areas.

Are you looping an area? I was able to set a looped region and solo it, and add other tracks to the solo with ctrl i can release any and change from one to another.

Yes in RB, if you solo two or three tracks and then click on one of them to select a region it will cancel the solo and apply it to that track only. In MC5 it will stay soloed, but not do anything else. SO you might not have the feature to hold the solo-ed tracks, but in MC5 you can't one click and release the solos so one is not really better it is just a different approach.

Am I still missing the point, or did i understand, and just don't see the importance of this?

I really am being sincere.

Hey man one click will save all this hassle. "solo click"
No one is saying that you can't solo tracks in RB, but when your are using it every day
time is wasted, I want to solo the tracks i want and STAY soloed no mater what i do.
For the work you do you are obviously happy with how it works and don't need PG to improve anything.

Yes. I doubt that there's anyone here that doesn't know that the mixer in RB doesn't follow the standard console layout. Yes I would also like the M S R buttons for each track. I would also like to choose the recording source for each track from a drop down however I can live without them also.
