To mute a layer:

1. Do one of the following:
   • To mute one layer, click the Mute icon corresponding to the layer that you want to mute.
   • To mute all layers in a track, Shift-click any Mute icon.

   
   

   The icon of the muted layer turns black and the layer is removed from the output. In the following example, the output from layer 2 is muted, revealing the output from the next layer down—layer 1.
