Mute and Solo buttons— Mutually exclusive buttons that silence a track or make it the only track playing. Multiple Solo buttons can be pressed to have more tracks playing solo at a time. Click the Solo button on one track to hear only that track. Click another Solo button on another track to hear both of those tracks. Likewise, click the Mute button on a track to silence it. Multiple tracks can also be muted at the same time.
