Solo is not exclusiveÑyou can let as many instruments as you like into
the solo. Note that the green SOLO indicator lights up in the status bar
whenever a track is soloed.
1. In the Track pane, click the track number (the leftmost column) of
the Piano track. The track is selected.

. Both tracks are muted.

3. Right-click on either track to bring up the pop-up menu.
