Possible to mute 1 track from multi-track across all songs?

ginacc

Hi - I'm using multi-tracks with ST3 but only sending them Stereo L/R (Click R, all other tracks L, No I cannot send them each individually to a mixer because I'm on a lighting iPad and the USB port from the camera adapter is already being used to send MIDI out for our video.) I have all my percussion on Track 8 just in case we need to play a smaller show without our drummer -- but I'd like to mute Track 8 when not needed. Is there a way to mute ALL Track 8 across the system without having to mute them individually in each song? Yes I understand that if I was running to a mixer I could just mute the line there but that's not what I'm doing. Thanks.

Just on this point, you can get a Lightning adapter with 2 x USB ports so you aren't forced into using the Headphone output and being restricted to 2 mono tracks of output.

I think I might have similar setup as yourself.
In my case I have a 9th Gen iPad with Lightning port and I connect an adapter to give me:

USB-A port - connects to our Behringer X32 mixer digital interface so I can send 5 audio tracks
USB-A port - connects to a CME MIDI interface
Lightning port - so I can run power to the iPad

it was just some cheap adapter I got on eBay or Amazon, but it works great.

Audio Routing ---> Track 8 ---> disable. This mutes Track 8 for the system.

Frank-Ol Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!

AnthonyB Thanks! I didn't know they made adapters with multiple USB ports. I'm super nervous about using anything that isn't apple certified since I've had such bad luck with them but it's good to know they exist!

An alternative would be to connect a usb hub to the adapter and from there connect as many devices as you need. Bonus point: using a powered usb hub will also allow you to connect devices that draw too much power to connect them directly to the adapter.

peter Hi Peter, do you have one you'd specifically recommend?

peter Hi. I tried that on my iPad Pro with a Zoom L8 (USB 2 x stereo 1/2 and 3/4) and a Zoom U22 interface, but only one of both is shown to choose in stagetraxx audio routing (the last I plugged in). Chain: original Apple Connector --> uSB Hub --> both into hub.

ginacc I am using an old powered Logitech usb hub that is no longer available. But never had any issues with that. I guess any powered usb hub should work fine.

Frank-Ol iOS can only use one audio interface. It is always the last interface you connect. What works is using an audio interface and an additional midi interface.
