<para>
"Soloing" a track refers to changing some aspect of the signal flow
through Ardour that makes it possible to listen to one (or just a few)
tracks at a time. It is often done during mixing and mastering to help
an audio engineer listen carefully to parts of the mix.
</para>
<para>
Tracks may be soloed at any time. When one or more tracks are soloed,
all non-soloedntracks will no longer be audible.
</para>
<para>
Soloing tracks does not affect the solo status of busses, nor vice
versa. That is, soloing a track leaves all busses audible and soloing a
track leaves all tracks "audible". You may not actually be able to hear
the "audible" material if it is routed through a non-soloed bus.
</para>
<para>
This design is intended to allow FX busses and master outs to be useful
even when soloing. Soloing is made significantly more complex by the
presence of control outs (see control_outs_soloing for more details on
soloing with control outs).
