You can mute an input strip. When you mute an input strip, it is not heard during playback, but its levels still appear on the pre-fader meters. You can also mute an input strip from the timeline.

To mute a strip:

1. Enable the Mute button for the input strip that you want to mute.

   
   

   The strip is muted. In the case of a stereo audio track, both strips are muted.
