Solo not working on buses with external insert

[jono grant]

Hi there,

I'm having the issue where I have an external insert on a bus, if I solo the bus or any other bus I don't get any sound.

I see on Google that it's an issue that's never been fixed for Cakewalk.

I just wondered if anyone knew why it happens or if there has been any  thought of trying to fix it?

I know I can use folders and mute them, just a lot of work in large files.

Thanks

Jono

Depending on the project configuration and how the bus and insert are being used, you might try outputting the bus to an Aux track that outputs to the downstream, bus, moving the insert to that Aux track, and using the track's solo. Or just re-route the source tracks from the bus directly to the Aux track with the insert, and use that Aux in place of the bus.  Otherwise, the only solution is to not use external inserts on buses in a persistent way.  Dial in the sound you want, bounce the bus output to a track, and remove  or mute the bus.

If you can get enough noise going on a thread in the Feedback forum, maybe you can get the Bakers to fix it finally.
