Solo-In-Place
Solo-In-Place 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. The position and relative levels of the signal to all the outputs is retained.
Solo-In-Place affects the main outputs. This should not be confused with the
PFL/AFL monitoring system which affects only the monitor outputs. Solo-In-Place is
most useful during sound checking where you can listen to the contribution of
individual signals to the mix.
The GL4800 Solo-In-Place 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
Solo-In-Place 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 Solo-In-Place. If not needed Solo-In-
Place can be disabled.

You can toggle repeatedly between this and the mix to judge the
effect.
