Muting, Soloing, And Hiding - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Muting, Soloing, and Hiding

By muting, soloing, or hiding layers and zones, you can focus on editing certain parts
of the program.
In addition, the Program Tree allows you to list a customizable set of zone parameters.
This way, you can compare values between different zones directly in the Program
Tree.
Muting Layers, Zones, and the Program
Layers and zones that are muted are not output when you hit a key. For muted zones
or layers the Mute icon turns yellow. When a muted program or layer contains zones,
these zones are muted as well. This is indicated by an orange Mute icon in front of the
zones.
• To mute an element in the Program Tree, click the Mute icon in front of it. The
corresponding icon turns yellow.
• To reset the muting settings, click the Mute icon on the toolbar.
• To mute the selected zones, open the context menu of the Program Tree, open the
Mute/Solo submenu, and select "Mute Selected Zones".
• To mute all zones, open the context menu of the Program Tree, open the Mute/Solo
submenu, and select "Mute All Zones". The program itself and any of its layers are
not muted by this.
Soloing Layers, Zones, and the Program
When a layer or zone is soloed, only that layer or zone can be heard. For soloed zones
or layers the Solo icon turns red. When a program or layer contains zones that are
soloed, its icon turns pink.
• To solo an element in the Program Tree, click the Solo icon in front of it. The
corresponding icon turns red.
• To reset the soloing settings, click the Solo icon on the toolbar.
• To solo the selected zones, open the context menu of the Program Tree, open the
Mute/Solo submenu, and select "Solo Selected Zones". Alternatively, press [S] on
your computer keyboard.
• To solo all zones, open the context menu of the Program Tree, open the Mute/Solo
submenu, and select "Solo All Zones". The program itself and any of its layers are
not soloed by this.
Making all Zones Audible Again
• On the context menu, open the Mute/Solo submenu, and select "Make All Zones
Audible".
This resets all mute and solo states for the program.
• Alternatively click the header of the Mute or Solo column to reset all mute or solo
states.
Using "Solo Follows Selection"
The "Solo Follows Selection" function on the Mute/Solo submenu automatically solos
the layers and zones you select. Other parts of the program are muted. This is useful
if you want to switch between layers and zones and only have the current selection
played back.
