Scribble Strips; Mute And Solo Functions - DigiDesign Control 24 Reference Manual

Scribble Strips

Each of the twenty-four channels has its own
four-character scribble strip display. These dis-
plays often identify names or settings related to
their respective channel strip. In certain modes,
information will be spread across the scribble
strips of more than one channel

Mute and Solo Functions

MUTE and SOLO buttons are located above the
fader on each channel. The on-screen mute and
solo functions are equivalent to those on
Control 24, are additive, or "latching," by de-
fault. This means that when you press the SOLO
button on a channel, it is soloed in addition to
any previously soloed channels.
Channel Select, Solo and Mute
Solo can be changed to non-latching in the
Pro Tools preferences, but the mute function
cannot be rendered non-latching.
Implicit and Explicit Mute/Solo Display
A flashing MUTE LED indicates an implied or
implicit mute. The channel is muted because
other channels are soloed. See "Solo and Record
Safe Modes" on page 69 for a description of how
to protect a track from implied muting.
The MUTE button LEDs on channels that are ex-
plicitly muted are lit continuously (do not
flash).
To mute or solo a channel:
Press the channel MUTE or SOLO button.
