Mute layers to hide them temporarily from the vertical edit. You can mute any layer except the topmost layer.

To mute a layer:

1. Do one of the following:
   • To mute one layer, Ctrl-click the Layer identifier.
   • To mute all layers in a track (except the topmost one), Shift+Ctrl-click a Layer identifier.

   The identifiers of the muted layers turn black and the layers are removed from the output. In the following example, the output from L2 is muted, revealing the output from the next layer down—L1.
