Clip Muting with the Alternate Style

When you choose Mute Entire Clips 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 alternate style.

To Enable or Disable the Mute Tool

• Click the Mute tool or press K on your keyboard. The Mute tool turns

blue when it is enabled.

To Mute or Unmute an Entire Clip Using Alternate Style

1. Make sure that Mute Entire Clips under Click+Drag Behavior in the

Mute tool dropdown menu has a check mark.

2. Using the Mute tool, click anywhere in the clip.

SONAR displays the Mute icon in the upper left corner of a muted clip.

Note: if the clip you’re muting or unmuting with this method already has one

or more muted time ranges, these time ranges remain muted while you Alt-

click the clip, so you don’t lose any precise mute edits you’ve performed.

To Mute a Time Range Using Alternate Style

1. Make sure that Mute Entire Clips 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, Alt-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.
