Mute Synth Plugin When Playing Keyboard
6 June, 2020 - 19:29 — hiji
Hello -
I have a MIDI track with the synthv1 plugin. It goes to its own bus (not Master Out). I'm using my MIDI keyboard as a controller via this track.
When I mute the MIDI track and press play, no audio is heard from the MIDI clip. This is good and expected.
However, with the MIDI track still muted, I can hear the synth through the Master Out bus whenever I press keys on my keyboard.
Is there a way to mute the synth from the Master Out, without lowering the Master Out gain?
Thanks!

[M]ute applies only to the track's playback, not to auto-monitored material.

Thank you. So, is there any way to mute the synth in the way I described?
re. any way to mute the synth...
one possibility is try turning off Track > Auto Monitor; or move away from having the MIDI track as current or highlighted...
cheers

I wasn't able to get the desired outcome with the turning off Auto Monitor, but... I did figure out a workaround. I just listen to the synth as I record the control input. However, after the MIDI data is recorded, I bounce the new bus only into a new audio track. Then, I mute the original MIDI track. Since the bounced file does not have the synth playing from Master Out, it goes into the final mixdown. If I need to make edits, I edit the MIDI file and then rebounce. Thanks for the tips!
