What Are the Best Work Arounds For the Mute Issues

first of all for us less than expert users could someone clarify what all the mute issues are in this thread, and in addition to that I'd like to ask, what are the best work arounds for these issues.

the main one on my mind is the Mute recording issue and recording mutes into songs, would you good folks please help clear things up for us and thank you very much.

qreal - track - level

ok, so don't be shy folks anyone like to say more, this seems to be an on going issue so as many ideas as possible would be great.

are there any plans to fix the convert seq to song feature and track mutes?

wow I guess everything is great with the mutes and nobody feels like talking about it all, or rather puting all of our thoughts concerning the mute features in to one thread.....

thats cool, guess i'll just mute mi self

You have 2 mute settings: immediate and through.

With immediate the samples playing on a track are muted the same moment the track is muted, with through the samples play through to their end.

Immediate also allows you to unmute a track to cut back in into the samples. Its like the samples are still playing even if the track was muted.
Problem here is that the samples really ARE playing even when muted, thus using up polyphony and creating other issues (like muting other samples on other tracks when assigned to the same mute group). these issues are all sorted out by now afaik.

not really, you have to go through the seqs and delete everything thats muted.

really? last i heard, the immediate setting kept the sample muted even if you brought the track mute back in, which pretty much ruins track mutes for me. hopefully i'm wrong but if its still like that than track mutes have still taken a major turn for the worse.

and qreal-track-level is an ok workaround for single tracks, but for my workflow sucks ass in comparison to how tracks mutes used to work (controlling multiple tracks at the same time for alternate sequences, dropouts, etc...).

i really hope JJ fixes this...

Ok might be wrong here, im not on the latest version right, no time for testing. I dont use track mutes much, think they are only really useful if you wanna loop stuff, better chop small...

thanks for chiming in you two, Punchdrunk you said they don't work like they used to, what os version was it that they worked like they were suppose to, i'd like to try it out as I think my workflow is something like yours from what you described.

Great!!!, that must be an excellent feature since it is now possible to be as creative with samples as with midi data? I always like to use the mutes on midi sequences to give it some new variations.

Is it possible to use immediate mode on one track and through for another track? Or is it one global setting for all tracks?

o sh*t, I just read that this great track mute mode is removed from the latest os version.

sander what are you talking about, track mute is still in the latest os?

The volume mute. So when muting a long sample, the sound mutes immediately instead of at the end of the sample. Or am I wrong?
