Automated Muting
The Mute buttons in the Track view and Console view work in two ways:
• You can record or draw automation for each Mute button, and the automation
data controls the buttons.
• You can click a Mute button while playback is in progress and manually
override any automation data for that button.
A track’s Mute button can display the muted or unmuted status of either the
automation envelope or of manual muting. The Track-Show Automated Mute
command causes the Mute button on a selected track to show whether the track’s
mute envelope (if any) is in the muted or unmuted position (the automated mute
status). When the command is disabled, the track’s Mute button shows whether
you have depressed the Mute button manually or not (the manual mute status).
When the command is enabled, the Mute button displays an envelope icon through
the M: . Besides the Track-Show Automated Mute command, you can also
right-click a Mute button and choose Switch to Automated Mute from the popup
menu.
To Draw a Mute Envelope
1. In the Clips pane, right-click in the track you want to mute, and choose
Envelopes-Create Track Envelope-Automated Mute from the Clips pane
popup menu.
An envelope appears at the bottom of the track.
2. Add nodes to the envelope and edit it so that the envelope is more than 50% of
its maximum height wherever you want the track muted.
To Record a Mute Button’s Movement
1. Right-click the Mute button you want to automate and choose Arm for
Automation from the popup menu.
2. Click the Automation Record button, click the Mute button on and off where
appropriate, and stop recording.
SONAR draws an automated mute envelope in the track you recorded on.
