Automated Muting
The Mute buttons in the Track view and Console view work in two ways:
• You can record or draw automation for each Mute button, and the
automation data controls the buttons.
• You can click a Mute button while playback is in progress and manually
override any automation data for that button.
A track’s Mute button can display the muted or unmuted status of either the
automation envelope or of manual muting. The Tracks-Show Automated
Mute command causes the Mute button on a selected track to show
whether the track’s mute envelope (if any) is in the muted or unmuted
position (the automated mute status). When the command is disabled, the
track’s Mute button shows whether you have depressed the Mute button
manually or not (the manual mute status). When the command is enabled,
the Mute button displays an armed fader next to the M: . Besides the
Tracks-Show Automated Mute command, you can also right-click a Mute
button and choose Switch to Automated Mute from the popup menu.
