Listen is currently in the Edit menu, which means one has to select a specific track and give the command to Listen to it. (or just directly click the button in the Mixconsole for that specifc channel)
Thereâs also âListen for All Visible Channels On/Offâ in the âMixerâ category, that pushes listen on all visible channels.
Could we please have listen perform like Mute and Solo do, and be able to directly target any channel in a Mixer Bank Zone?
Itâs like a soft solo. Instead of listening to the channel and nothing else (Solo), it allows us to listen to the channel, and everything else is dimmed in volume by a specified value. So we listen to the channel in context of the rest of the mix, but loud enough to concentrate on the details.
Listen is beautiful, I find I am using it more than Solo. But right know I have to select each track first to âListenâ to it. If we had this option in the mixer bank zone, I could assign 8 buttons per bank to âListenâ to any channel (or combination) of channels immediately.
Why not use the control room as thatâs what itâs designed for ? Sorry misunderstood the question but , canât you work around with the controlroom ?
But I am using the control room already. I donât think you can use listen if you donât have the control room enabled?
Let me clarify the request:
I have a control surface.
I have a fader for each channel. 8 of them in a row.
I have a button that Mutes each channel. 8 of them in a row.
I have a button that Soloes each channel. 8 of them in a row.
There is no way to assign a Listen button for each channel.
I really know nothing about âListenâ honestly, itâs just that I saw that when I assign âMonitorâ the âListenâ button you describe, gets activated.
I too use Listen all the time, it lets you focus on a specific track while maintaining a tonal/harmonic/rhythmic reference. It would be great if it could be activated like Solo. But you can create a key shortcut to apply Listen to a specific track, and then map it to some button in your controller - I have in my system, using my master keyboard as a kind of controller, works really well. To disable Listen and enable another key shortcut, but this part is straightforward.
Ah, haha, sorry itâs my ignorance! Of course youâre right, I confused the Listen with the Monitor button as seen in my mixConsole. Sorry for the time youâve lost on this!
Anyway, it is a very nice feature indeed, I always used to put my fader up for this ! I will certainly add it to my script. And since there is not yet a binding for this one, Iâll go for setting it up as a double-action âselect Track->Apply Listenâ. Actually Iâve done something quite similar already for the Defeat property. TY!
