Dim Solo or Solo in front is a feature that exists in some other DAWs, but Ableton Live doesn’t have this functionality by default.
With the traditional solo function, the tracks that are not soloed are muted entirely.
With Dim Solo, non-soloed tracks still bleed through but at a reduced level.
This can be really useful if you want to focus on a specific track, but you still want to hear the context it’s in.
Also you gain the ability to solo a track that’s in a group and hear it without the group track’s effects.
Put the device on your master track.
You can place it either after your effects like a compressor or EQ or before them, depending on how you’d like to hear the soloed track – affected by these effects or not. One thing to note is that if you use correction plugins like Sonarworks Reference, it’s important to position the device before them.
Map the Solo button to a keyboard shortcut, or a MIDI controller.
When you select a track in your project and press this shortcut, the device will solo the chosen track. (Due to MFL limitations you can only solo one track/Group/Return at a time.)
A ‘Mix Volume’ slider will appear on the screen, allowing you to adjust the rest of the project’s bleed volume.
You can move this window to any location you prefer.
Also you can turn off this floating slider by deactivating the ‘F’ button.
The last button on the device switches the panning mode of the soloed track. It can be in either ‘Keep Pan’ mode or ‘Center’ mode.
By default, it’s in ‘Keep Pan’ mode, and the soloed track will maintain its panning position.
If you switch it to ‘Center’ mode, the dim soloed track will be centered even if you’ve changed the track’s pan control.
This can be desirable in certain cases when you want to focus on a track and it’s completly on the side, or it’s panning is highly automated.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
