Maybe I'm missing something. The same can be achieved by clicking on the solo button on multiple tracks and then it solos the tracks I want to hear. So if I have 40 tracks going and I press solo on 5 of the tracks, I hear just those five tracks.
He showed this specific scenario where you want to option+click different tracks to quickly skip from one to another (say you want to compare different guitar sounds). If you solo 5 tracks of drums and option+click guitars it will remove solo from drums... unless you use this solo defeat feature as he called it.
I think Solo Safe is perfect for those times when you always want to hear one or more references against other tracks you solo. So, Ctrl-click on those “references” so they’re always audible, and then play around with solo or Option-solo for other tracks in your project. For example: listening to your vocals in different combinations agains a keyboard track: Solo Safe the piano track, and then solo your vocals in any combination, with solo or Option-solo.
Wow, very well explained. Very useful!
Love the no-frills video title. Thanks for the explanation!
Hope it helped 👍
Great explanation, I always thought it's bug, not a feature.
