QUICKSOLO

QuickSolo is a system for checking individual signals or combinations of signals in the

mix. This is done by muting all channels except for the channel/s being soloed. It is

also known as 'solo-in-place' because the position and relative levels of the signal to

all the outputs is retained. QuickSolo affects the main outputs. This should not be

confused with the PFL/AFL monitoring system which affects only the monitor outputs.

QuickSolo is most useful during sound checking where you can listen to the contribution

of individual signals to the mix.

The GL4000 QuickSolo system lets you quickly solo selected channels using a two key

press that prevents accidental operation during a live performance. You can toggle

between your last selected solo setting and the full mix to compare the effect. You can

make selected channels 'solo safe' to prevent them being muted when QuickSolo is

activated. Typically you would solo safe the main outputs and the effects returns so

that the soloed channels are heard with effects. Safe channels can be previewed and

edited before operating QuickSolo. If not needed QuickSolo can be disabled.

USING QUICKSOLO

The LED flashes to warn that the solo system is

The previous mute settings are restored.

LAST SOLO

Having set up a solo combination you may wish to compare the

effect of this with the complete mix. Instead of having to repeat the

selection of the channels as above you can recall your last solo

combination. You can toggle repeatedly between this and the mix

to judge the effect.

Press SHIFT + QUICKSOLO

The last solo combination is activated.

While holding SHIFT press and release QUICKSOLO
