"Solo" button & "Record Enable" button

Similar behavior to what I'm requesting

The user can solo different tracks by clicking the solo button on different tracks, one track at a time, and then – when needed – he/she can mute all the other tracks by clicking the solo button of a new track while holding down COMMAND (ctrl).

Please allow the user to deactivate the record enable button of all record enabled tracks in a single shot (i.e. by using the COMMAND (ctrl) modifier key while clicking the record enable button of another track). Thank you.

I don’t think I have much use for those features (well, the mute/solo maybe), but I definitely can see them making sense for others.

The thing is it would make more sense if the behavior were the same in the record enable area of Cubase…

Totally agree with these buttons. Maybe it’s a Mandela effect but I think there was a top bar of buttons in some previous versions of Cubase? I always want to go there with the mouse, illustrated in the screenshot…

Example if I’m multitracking and I want to record a new single track QUICK, its frustrating to have to deactivate record buttons on multiple tracks first. It dips the flow.

However, a work around could be changing the preferences to “Enable rec on selected tracks”, but I always find this setting being annoying since I tend to jump between tracks and do accidential recordings., so I leave it unchecked,
A COMMAND key could therefore work both ways - doing quite the opposite of what checking/unchecking “Enable record on selected audio/midi track” does.

I would say instead:

… temporarily “reversing” the checked/unchecked state of the Enable record on selected audio/midi track option.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one wanting some improvement in this area of Cubase.

Yes, you found the words I was looking for :slight_smile:

Well, now I created a macro that would work as desired (I think)

And I simply re-assigned R as normal Record Enable for this macro instead.

WHY haven’t I dug into macros before…

You found a workaround. Good job!
