(Auto-)Cancel Solo

[k235]

Hey people,
the other day I was working with a Soundcraft k2 and it had this nifty feature:

When AUTO CANCEL is activated by the ENBL button, pressing any AFL or SOLO button will cancel any other which is currently active, so only one AFL or SOLO can be active at once.

This is really useful for A/B-ing tracks!

Also, sometimes when I mix I start by soloing a channel, then add other channels in solo mode until half my project consists of soloed tracks While this is probably my own fault (bad workflow) I would very much appreciate a "Cancel Solo" sort of button which un-solos all tracks

P.S.: Of course I dont strictly need "buttons", I would settle for keyboard shortcuts

hold ctrl+alt while you press a solo button = exclusive solo
hold ctrl = unsolo all

(rightclick on the mute and solo buttons to see the various options available, in fact, try rightclicking everything in Reaper since a lot of functions are availbale via rightclick)

btw,
I know the "start to mix by soloing a channel, then solo other channels thing".

Better way in my opinion is to mute all tracks first then unmute one by one (which has the benefit that you can still solo single tracks).
