How do you get a key command for solo (exclusive)?

Cubase

So im not talking simply soloing a track but rather the same as when you ctrl+click the solo button on a channel and it does an exclusive solol

Im also not talking about the preferences setting

Hi,

you’ll find it here as a key command:

Key Commands / Preferences / Project & MixConsole Activate Solo on Selected Track.

That just turns on solo any time you select a track

Thanks but as I mentioned, I have the global setting off; I dont want exclusive solo on all the time, only when I troubleshooting, so I just use the shortcut of ctrl+solo to force exclusive…but how to action that with a key command? I dont want to have to macro that on and off etc because the delay when doing that with preferences is quite annoying tbh.

Hi,

have a closer look at my post - you need to open key commands / preferences etc
. Your screenshot shows the actual preferences. That’s not what I meant since you were asking for a key command.

BTW, I use this key command all the time, it’s really helpful.

Yep @Reco29 the keycommands/preferences is just a shortcut to that screenshot

Okay, then I don’t understand what you are looking for. There’s no delay here when I activate it. The warning display that it’s activated/deactivated has no effect on its functionality.
I must have misread your post, sorry.

Thanks @Reco29

In other words

  1. That preference is a global solo on any selected track. If you then select another track it will follow…I understand that
  2. But I never use that as in large projects it can upset when you have mixes of soloing
  3. Leaving that off means you can selectively apply exclusive
  4. I use it when scrolling large track counts as I dont want to have to use the mouse to exclusive solo ie hold ctrl + click

HTH

Sorry, I didn’t have the chance to read the second part of your answer while I was typing. I get it, now… :wink:

I don’t think there is one. If there is, I would like to know too. It’s always been ctr+click on the solo button.

just painful if using hardware

Try Autohotkey? Just taking a guess here…

Doesnt work, Cubase does not expose widgets and only some windows

You can do this using a macro:

Not exactly a key command but functionally the same…some times you gotta look outside the “box”

Cheers @m.c
