Loopy Pro Solo actions

Mountain_Hamlet

Hi knowledgable people of the forum.
Quick question: is it possible to customise or change the default solo button behaviour. in Loopy Pro? At the moment when I go to solo an AuV3 instrument channel all the channels and the MIDI channels mute. If I’m using MIDI plugins on all my AUv3s then it makes it impossible to hear what the channel I’m soling is doing because it’s MIDI signals are being muted as well. Is this considered normal, expected behaviour? Is there any way to change this?
Thanks for any clues…

Ugh. You're right. I never noticed that. If you solo a midi input channel it mutes all the audio channels too.
That's illogical IMO.

I've brought that up over on the beta test Slack channel. I'll check back here if it turns out that a roadmap request needs to be made.

@wim thanks.
As an extra bonus it would be nice if the solo buttons worked like they do on mixing desks. Auria Pro and Logic Pro do it this way for example and it’s the way that I am used to having them work. I think AUM does too.

Hi, I brought it up on the beta test Slack channel, and Michael agreed that it isn't a logical way for the solos to behave. He didn't say if or when he planned to change it though. I suggest adding a feature request on the Loopy Pro Roadmap so that it doesn't get lost and so that you can add the above details.

In the meantime, you can set up widgets to mute the tracks to be muted instead of soloing

I just want to hit a button to solo one track and then if I want to hear another one with it I want to put that track in solo and hear them both together. Then when I’ve heard what I want to listen to I want to bring the whole mix back in one easy button press.
If I’ve got a bunch of tracks, I don’t want to go through and mute all the tracks I don’t want to hear first - that seems like a long way to go around something that should be quick and easy - unless I’m missing something in your suggestion.

Thanks @wim I appreciate you following up. Over 730 feature requests - quite the list.

I understand what you want. Since it doesn’t work that way today, I was mentioning something you can do today. Which is create one button with a bunch of mute actions.once set up, you can tap the button once to to mute all those tracks and again to unmute.

I understand that that isn’t ideal… but it can be used until the native implementation works as you’d like.

I appreciate your suggestion @espiegel123 . Thanks for giving me something to work with. I didn’t mean to sound ungrateful. The nuances can get a little lost in the written translation of my thoughts.

Confirmed ... it's on Michael's radar. 😎
