the following:
• Choose
Setup > Preferences and click

•In the
Satellites section of the Synchronization
page, select the

following:

Using Solo Link without Linking
Transport Controls
If you are synchronizing multiple Pro Tools sys-
tems to an external synchronizer, you can still take
advantage of the Solo Link feature.
You can set a satellite Pro Tools system to always
send its solo status, whether linked or unlinked, so
you can solo tracks across systems without linking
transport controls.
To set a satellite Pro Tools system to always solo
even when it is not linked:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click Synchro-
nization
.
2 In the Satellites section of the Synchronization
page, select the
Solo Independent of Linked
State
option.
3 Click OK to close the Preferences window.
Solo Link Behavior in the Solo Modes
Solo in Place With Solo Link, when using Solo In
Place, the mode of solo operation is determined by
the system transmitting the solo.
 If a linked system is in Solo Latch mode, solo-
ing a track on that system adds to the number of
tracks in solo, regardless of the solo mode of other
systems set to receive solos.
 If a linked system is in Solo X-OR mode, solo-
ing a track on that system cancels all other sys-
tem’s solos regardless of the solo mode of other
systems set to receive solos.
AFL and PFL Modes With Solo Link, AFL and
PFL solos on a linked system have no effect on
other systems.
An AFL-soloed track on a linked system can be
muted by a Solo In Place on another system. To
avoid this, use PFL instead of AFL.
