Solo
Solo is a DAW or mixer control that lets one track or channel be heard on its own.
Level relevance: introduced at Nat 3; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.
Explanation
Solo is useful when checking an individual recording, edit, effect, or problem sound. Mix decisions should still be checked in context because a track that sounds good alone may not fit the full mix.
