Mute and Solo are two simple yet important functions in 

monitoring your mixes.  When you have guitars, vocals, 

drums, bass, horns and keyboards coming into the mixer 

through eight, sixteen or twenty-four channels—it’s cru-

cial that you be able to isolate each signal and listen to it, 

with or without the others.  

Mute lets you turn off a channel, allowing you to hear what 

the rest of the mix sounds like without it.  Solo works the 

opposite way—letting you instantly turn off all channels 

except the selected one, allowing you to hear that channel 

all by itself.

Remember that both Mute and Solo can be used with sev-

eral channels, not just one. (The Solo function depends on 

the SOLO MODE setting; page 96.)  In other words, you 

can solo two channels, to hear how they sound separate 

from the mix, and hear how they sound together.  Or if you 

have drums on three different channels, you can mute all 

three to hear a drum-less mix.  Moreover, you can use 

Mute with the Group feature (page 101) to instantly mute 

several grouped channels all at the same time.
