Description

Your idea

Allow the user to apply an unmute all or unsolo all command in the mixer. This could perhaps be done by adding two extra buttons to the mixer. Or perhaps even by using Ctrl+click on an existing solo/mute button.

Problem to be solved

The user may find that they have soloed or muted several instruments in the mixer. If they subsequently want to unsolo or unmute all instruments, they have to hunt through each channel and click on the S or M buttons.

It would be so much easier to be able to do this using one simple operation (as described above).

Research direction

Locate the mixer UI entry point and inspect the existing mute and solo button handling first. Decide how the proposed extra buttons or Ctrl+click interaction fits the current controls, then verify that one operation can unmute or unsolo every instrument in the mixer.
