Basic Newbie ? re Muting all Tracks

[soundog]

I have a very basic setup I am scripting.

I am recording simple loops on Track 1 and Track 2, just one loop on each track (sometimes with overdubs). No sync to host or anything; just live real-time looping.

I want Track 1 to be the Master loop (which I can mute and unmute so that the loop always starts at the beginning). I have a basic script that will do a record, then overdubs as needed. I use a separate button to mute or reset the loop.

I want track 2 to always slave to Track 1. I have a separate record button for Track 2, which works properly (waits for Track 1 to start, then begins recording, and closes loop at end of Track 1 loop).

The problem: I want my mute button to mute both tracks, so that when I press it again to unmute, both Tracks start at the beginning so they are in sync. With my setup, Track 1 starts at the beginning, but Track 2 does not. Mute Mode is set for "Start" for Track 1. I have tried "Start" "Continue" and "Pause for Track 2, but none of these seem to work properly for me. Is there a Global setting I am missing or something? Thanks....

There are a few ways to do this.

The easiest is to use the function "Global Mute" rather than Mute.

Another is to use "focus lock" to make the Mute function run in both tracks.
Bring up the Global Parameters window and select the Functions tab.
In the selector labeled "Focus Lock Functions", remove everything except Mute.

Bring up the Track Setup window and check the Focus Lock box in
both tracks 1 and 2.

Now when you use Mute in either tracks 1 and 2 it will happen in both.

Thanks, Jeff. Got it sorted out....
