WORKING WITH TRACKS CHP. 6
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 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
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.

default settings for all new tracks in your project. Properties

a particular track over time. For more information, see Working with track envelopes on page 163.
