Muting and Soloing Tracks, Busses, and Submixes

The Mute button mutes (silences) the track, bus, or submix. You can mute multiple
tracks, busses, and submixes, which allows you to hear only the remaining, unmuted
ones. Muting lets you compare the sound of the project using different combinations
of tracks, busses, and submixes, and hear the result of changes you make to them.

To mute a track, bus, or submix:

m

Click the Mute button. Click the Mute button again to unmute the track, bus, or submix.

Muted tracks, busses, and submixes appear darker in the Timeline and their clips
appear translucent, making it easy to identify which tracks are currently audible.

The Solo button solos the track, bus, or submix, muting all others. Soloing a track, bus,
or submix lets you quickly isolate it from the rest of the project, so you can adjust the
sound of the soloed track, bus, or submix and make changes.

Drag the puck to pan
the sound.

Click the Mute button to
mute the track, bus, or
submix.
