MUTE AND SOLO AUTOMATION

Mixcraft 11 lets you automate track mute and solo states with envelopes, just like volume or pan — drop a chorus's guitar for four bars, solo the drums for a breakdown, and have it happen the same way on every playback.

USING MUTE AND SOLO AUTOMATION

Select Mute or Solo as the automation parameter on any track's automation lane, then draw (or record) the on/off states. The envelopes work on audio, virtual instrument, Submix, and Send tracks.

VISUAL FEEDBACK

Mute and solo buttons display distinct custom borders when they're being controlled by automation, so you can tell at a glance whether a track is muted by an envelope or by hand. Unlike a manual mute, a track muted by automation does not appear visually disabled — its contents stay fully visible during playback (and a submix's ghost waveform stays visible through mute-automated sections).
