2. Using the Mute tool, Alt-click inside the upper half of a clip in the muted area.
You can mute or unmute a clip without using the Mute tool if you want. Pressing Q on your
keyboard toggles the mute status of all selected clips. Any muted time ranges remain muted.
Audition (Selection Playback)
The Transport-Audition command plays back only selected clips and/or time ranges.
To use the command, hold down the Shift key and then press the Spacebar. Only the selected
data plays back.
Isolating (Clip Soloing)
Isolating works by muting all the clips in a track in the same time region except the ones
that you want to hear. Just like clip muting, isolating has two styles:
• Default style—after you activate the Mute tool, you can Ctrl-drag through time ranges
to isolate all or part of a clip. The default setting in the Mute tool dropdown menu
produces this behavior (you’ll see a checkmark next to
Mute Time Ranges under
Click+Drag Behavior ). If you want to temporarily switch to the Alternate style (see
below), hold down the Alt key along with the Ctrl key, and click whole clips instead of
dragging through regions.
• Alternate style—use the Mute tool to isolate entire clips by Ctrl-clicking clips instead of
dragging through time regions. You can choose this behavior by choosing
Mute Entire
Clips under Click+Drag Behavior in the Mute tool dropdown menu. If you decide you
want to temporarily switch to the Default style, hold down the Alt key along with the
Ctrl key, and drag through the regions you want isolated.
To Isolate a Region with the Default Style
1. Make sure that Mute Time Ranges under Click+Drag Behavior in the Mute tool
dropdown menu has a check mark.
2. Using the Mute tool, hold down the Ctrl key and drag through the region of a clip or
clips that you want isolated (soloed).
Any overlapping regions become muted. To de-isolate the isolated region, release the Ctrl
key, and drag through the upper half of any muted regions.
If you want to temporarily switch to the Alternate style of isolating (see procedure below),
hold down the Alt key along with the Ctrl key, and click whole clips instead of dragging
through regions.
To Isolate Clips with the Alternate Style
1. Choose Mute Entire Clips under Click+Drag Behavior in the Mute tool dropdown
menu.
2. Using the Mute tool, hold down the Ctrl key and click the clips that you want isolated.
Any overlapping clips become muted. To de-isolate the isolated clips, release the Ctrl key, and
click any muted clips.
If you want to temporarily switch to the Default style of isolating, hold down the Alt key
along with the Ctrl key, and drag through the regions you want isolated.
