Clip Muting and Isolating (Clip Soloing)
setting in the Mute tool dropdown menu produces this behavior (you’ll
see a checkmark next to Mute Time Ranges under Click+Drag
Behavior). If you want to temporarily switch to the Alternate style (see
below), hold down the Alt key while you click.
• Alternate style—use the Mute tool to mute or unmute entire clips by
clicking clips instead of dragging through time regions. A clip that is
completely muted displays the Mute icon in its upper left corner.
You can choose this behavior by choosing Mute Entire Clips under
Click+Drag Behavior in the Mute tool dropdown menu. If you decide
you want to temporarily switch to the Default style, hold down the Alt
key while you drag.
In addition, you can also play back only selected data if you want by
pressing the Shift key and the Spacebar at the same time.

When you choose Mute Time Ranges under Click+Drag Behavior in the
Mute tool dropdown menu, you can use the following procedures to mute all
or parts of clips. This is the default behavior.
To Enable or Disable the Mute Tool
• Click the tool or press K on your keyboard. The Mute tool turns blue
when it is enabled.
To Mute a Time Range Using Default Style
1. Make sure that Mute Time Ranges under Click+Drag Behavior in the
Mute tool dropdown menu has a check mark.
2. If you want to mute a precise amount of time, enable the Snap to Grid
button and set its menu to an appropriate value.
3. Using the Mute tool, drag inside the lower half of a clip.
SONAR mutes the area you dragged through and displays the muted
waveform or MIDI data as a dotted line.
