    I just purchased the CQ18T as the hub of my DAWless rig and as someone coming over from Ableton Live, it would be VERY helpful to the DAWless community if you could make the solos switchable to Solo In Place (SIP) so they behave the same as on a DAW. Right now I KINDA have a work around, but it uses up all of my mute groups, and it’s not enough channels. I can use the mutes groups in reverse so it effectively Solos the one channel, but there are only 4 and they can’t be cumulative. The QSC Touchmix 30 Pro does this. You could be the first to market this level digital mixer to the DAWless crowd, as well as Dj/Producers who are also used to the DAW workflow but are expanding out of the DAW for live use. If for some reason this is not possible, could you at least give us 4 more mute groups so I can at least do the workaround trick for my 8 synths/samplers? Thanks. Johnny Leach

    How do you have your speakers hooked up? I assume you must be using both the headphone jack with headphones and the main outputs with studio monitors? A work around might be to get an input selector switch where you could switch between the headphones and studio monitors – both being feed from your headphone output. This would allow both the headphones and studio monitors to “solo” a particular channel as needed without the need for actual “solo in place” functionality.

    @ XoeoX
    Until your request is implemented, here are 2 ideas for a possible workaround, which I cannot try out myself.
    Couldn’t you perhaps use your 4 DCA groups as additional mute groups?
    If you use the “Mixing Station” app, you could certainly create a layout in which the buttons of these 4+4 “SIP groups” are right next to each other.

    Theoretically, you should also be able to use the IDCAs from “Mixing Station” for your project by creating an IDCA for each of your SIP cases that leaves the desired channel unmuted.
    Here, too, you would only need in the layout the corresponding mute buttons of the IDCAs.
    But sorry if I’ve thought wrong.
