+ "Soloing" a track refers to changing some aspect of the signal flow
+ through Ardour that makes it possible to listen to one (or just a few)
+ tracks at a time. It is often done during mixing and mastering to help
+ an audio engineer listen carefully to parts of the mix.
+ </para>

+ Tracks may be soloed at any time. When one or more tracks are soloed,
+ all non-soloedntracks will no longer be audible.

+ <para>
+ Soloing tracks does not affect the solo status of busses, nor vice
+ versa. That is, soloing a track leaves all busses audible and soloing a
+ track leaves all tracks "audible". You may not actually be able to hear
+ the "audible" material if it is routed through a non-soloed bus.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This design is intended to allow FX busses and master outs to be useful
+ even when soloing. Soloing is made significantly more complex by the
+ presence of control outs (see control_outs_soloing for more details on
+ soloing with control outs).
