Clip muting and isolating (clip soloing)

Together with Take lanes, clip muting and isolating (clip soloing) make it easy to build a composite take from multiple takes.

The Mute tool lets you mute/unmute entire clips, or only regions within clips. Click a clip to mute/unmute the clip. Drag in the bottom half of the clip to mute a region, and drag in the top half to unmute a region. A clip that is completely muted displays the Mute icon in its upper left corner.In addition, you can also play back only selected data if you want by pressing the SHIFT key and the SPACEBAR at the same time.

To mute a time range

1.	Select the Mute tool in the Control Bar.

2.	If you want to mute a precise amount of time, enable the Snap to Grid button and set its menu to an appropriate value.

3.	Drag across the bottom half of the clip.

SONAR mutes the area you dragged through and displays the muted waveform or MIDI data as a dotted line.
