Muting Audio Output
Sometimes when you are playing or editing sounds, you may want to quickly mute
(silence) all audio output for the concert. MainStage includes a Master Mute button
that silences the output from every patch in the concert.
To quickly mute all sound, do one of the following:
m Press Control-M.
In the Toolbar, click the Master Mute button.
m If you have mapped the Master Mute function to a screen control, press or move the
corresponding controller.
The Master Mute button changes to show that the output is muted (a red diagonal line
covers the speaker icon). All output remains muted until you click the Master Mute
button again.
To unmute all sound, do one of the following:
m Press Control-M again.
m Click the Master Mute button again.
m If you have mapped the Master Mute function to a screen control, press or move the
corresponding controller.
Master Mute is also a mappable parameter in the Parameter Mapping browser. You can
map Master Mute to a button or other controller in your concerts, so that you can
quickly mute all output when you are playing live in Perform or Full Screen mode.
In addition, you can mute audio output for a single channel strip by clicking its Mute
(M) button.
