Muting Layers
 
 
 

Mute layers to hide them temporarily from the vertical edit. You can mute any layer.

To mute a layer:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To mute one layer, click the Mute icon corresponding to the layer that you want to mute.
    • To mute all layers in a track, Shift-click any Mute icon.

    The icon of the muted layer turns black and the layer is removed from the output. In the following example, the output from layer 2 is muted, revealing the output from the next layer down—layer 1.
