Exclusive Solo mode
By default, SONAR allows you to solo multiple tracks and buses simultaneously. With Exclusive Solo
mode, you can only solo one track and one bus at a time.
When you solo a track or bus in Exclusive Solo mode, all other soloed tracks or buses are
automatically unsoloed. This allows you to quickly listen to individual tracks and buses in isolation
without having to manually unsolo other tracks or buses.
To enable/disable Exclusive Solo mode
Click the Exclusive Solo button in the Control Bar’s Mix module.
Figure 43. The Mix module.
There are several situations where soloing one track actually solos more than one track, even when
Exclusive solo mode is enabled:
• If you solo a track folder, all tracks within the folder are soloed.
• If you solo a track that is assigned to a soft synth, all other tracks that are assigned to the same
soft synth are also soloed.
• If you solo a track or bus that belongs to a Quick Group, all other tracks or buses are also soloed.

Note: When you enable Exclusive Solo mode, currently soloed tracks and buses are not
affected until the next time you solo a track or bus.
