Muting Soft Effects

 
 
 

To remove a soft effect temporarily from the vertical edit, mute it. To put the soft effect back into the vertical edit, simply un-mute it. Muted soft effects are indicated by black LEDs on the soft effect button.

NoteIf you mute a Timewarp soft effect, only mix and trail values are muted. You cannot mute timing effects with the mute button.

To mute or un-mute a soft effect:

  1. Select the element that has the soft effect you want to mute or un-mute.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To temporarily remove the soft effect from the vertical edit, click the blue LED on the soft effect button.
    • To reapply the soft effect to the vertical edit, click the black LED on the soft effect button.

    The LED is blue for a muted soft effect. The LED is black for an un-muted soft effect.

NoteFrom the EditDesk record timeline, you can also toggle Alt plus the corresponding hotkey number to cycle between muting and reenabling a soft effect.
