The following table summarizes muting, soloing, and archiving.

If a track is both muted and soloed, it does not play. Mute has precedence.

Track status What it means

Normal The track plays unless one or more of your other tracks is soloed.

Muted The track is not played, but you can turn it on while playback is in progress.

Archived The track is not played, and you must stop playback to re-enable it. Archived

tracks do not tax your CPU during playback so they can be used to store alternate

takes.

Soloed Only those tracks that are designated as solo tracks are played; all others are

muted.
