bus.

The headphones button lights up. The channel is not sent to its defined destination any-
more but instead to the Cue bus.
To remove the channel from the Cue bus and send it back to its normal destination defined in
its output settings, simply click again on the headphones button.
You can send any number of Sound and Group channels to the Cue bus simultaneously.
In Arrange view, the equivalent of the headphones button is the Cue switch found on the
Audio page of the Sound’s and Group’s Output properties (see section ↑8.1.2, Configuring
the Main Output of Sounds and Groups).
The mute and solo of channels don’t apply when these channels are sent to the Cue bus:
What is sent to the Cue bus is always played back via the Cue channel, regardless of the
original channel being muted or not.
