Mute and solo channel strips
You can silence (mute) a channel strip so that you don’t hear it when you play the project.
Muting channel strips is useful when you want to compare how the project sounds with and
without the target track, compare alternative versions of a track, or try different loops in a project.
You can also listen to a channel strip signal alone (solo), silencing all other channel strips. Soloing
channel strips is useful when you want to work on a track or region individually; for example,
when you’re editing regions on the track, re-recording a part, or adjusting volume curves.
