Cues need an option for Pre-Mute

This is related to my other request to have an option for Side-Chain sends to be pre-mute

But also, maybe in general, for all types of sends to be more flexible with individual sends being able to be pre-mute, instead of only a global preference.

There could be instances where I want to solo or mute something, without cutting Cue send mixes

  • The most obvious instance is, not cutting out the musicians headphone mix when I want to quickly solo something.
  • The second use case is, I use cues as reference mix/a/b in the control room and sometimes want to check something I have solo’d in reference to something else.

The only options in preferences is:

“Mute Pre-Send When Mute”

Which is too constrictive…

We either need:

  • Separate option for Cue sends
  • Separate option for Side-Chain

and or, let us customize individual sends/cues/side-chains more
