Clip Muting and Isolating (Clip Soloing)
Arranging
2. Using the Mute tool, Alt-click inside the upper half of a clip in the muted
area.
Toggling a Clip’s Mute Status
You can mute or unmute a clip without using the Mute tool if you want.
Pressing Q on your keyboard toggles the mute status of all selected clips.
Any muted time ranges remain muted.

Isolating (Clip Soloing)
Audition (Selection Playback)
The Transport-Audition command plays back only selected clips and/or
time ranges.
To use the command, hold down the Shift key and then press the
Spacebar. Only the selected data plays back.
Isolating (Clip Soloing)
Isolating works by muting all the clips in a track in the same time region
except the ones that you want to hear. Just like clip muting, isolating has
two styles:
• Default style—after you activate the Mute tool, you can Ctrl-drag
through time ranges to isolate all or part of a clip. The default 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 along with the Ctrl key, and click whole clips instead of
dragging through regions.
• Alternate style—use the Mute tool to isolate entire clips by Ctrl-clicking
clips instead of dragging through time regions. 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 along with the Ctrl key,
and drag through the regions you want isolated.
To Isolate a Region with the Default Style
1. Make sure that Mute Time Ranges under Click+Drag Behavior in the
Mute tool dropdown menu has a check mark.
