Hi Rob, I'm fine with all you wrote except for this part To my knowledge, this is exactly what happens when you solo a channel and are listening to it either through headphones connected to the headphone outputs or speakers connected to the monitor outputs. You hear only the thing you are soloing, and everything else disappears. I don't see how you are not experiencing it this way. Wait, you then say "What would be wrong with allowing only the channel you wish to hear to be heard with the desired condiments (effects, eq, gain levels etc.) if it only presents itself to those outputs and not any of the other outs going to mons or foh??" You can't hear a desired channel with additional condiments because the console can only solo one thing at a time, unless you are soloing something you have set up as a subgroup, submix, whatever. Condiments and dry channel are two things.

I think the standard setting allows you to listen to as many solo'd channels as you have want at the same time.
