Soloing a track
The Solo button (
) in the track list isolates a track’s events for playback. This allows you to focus on a track’s contents without the distraction of other tracks. You can solo more than one track at a time.
To solo a track, click the Solo button on that track. To solo several tracks, select the tracks and click the Solo button on any of the selected tracks. Click the Solo button again to restore the track(s) for playback.
Tip: Press Ctrl and click the Solo button to solo only the selected track (and restore any other soloed tracks). If the selected track is already soloed, press Ctrl and click the Solo button to restore all tracks.
When you have multiple levels of parent and child tracks, clicking the Solo button on a parent track solos the parent track and its compositing children. Other nonsoloed tracks at the same compositing level are bypassed.
In the sample track list, soloing track 1 will solo tracks 1 through 6.
Soloing track 4 will solo tracks 4 through 6. Tracks 2 and 3 are bypassed, and tracks 1 and 7 play normally.
