| Summary | 0000210: Solo/Cut GUI cleanups | ||||
| Description | In an audio app red always indicates things that are potentially dangerous i.e. recording (Master record button). The Cut buttons on the channel strips should also be red (or maybe an orange colour so as not to confuse them with the track arm button) to indicate the possible danger of having a track cut. Also the solo should be yellow to differentiate it more from the cut. When a track is soloed all other tracks should be cut (cut button illuminated) unless it is in solo safe. | ||||

chris - by "cut" do you mean "mute" ? as for solo behaviour, we cannot implement the behaviour you describe, for a good technical reason. unlike most hardware consoles, ardour effectively allows direct line in patching to the busses and more importantly, does not have a hardwired master out bus. this means that if you silenced all other *strips* when one strip is soloed, you would (1) lose live input on the busses and (2) lose output from the master outs. ardour mutes all other tracks when one track is soloed, and all other busses when a bus is soloed. this allows us to retain maximal mixer flexibility while behaving in a mostly intuitive fashion. |

oh, in addition, there is (nowadays) also a "rude solo" light that blinks red to provide a clear indication of solo status whether or not the relevant solo button is on screen or not. i prefer this to your color suggestions - if you look at most hardware consoles and/or recorders, mute + solo buttons have no color at all, and are certainly not the same color as rec-enable. |
