When the track has a mute envelope and the track automation mode is set to Touch or Latch, the button edits the envelope
setting at the cursor position.
Notes:
When you apply mute automation to a track, it's possible to have a track that is muted and soloed simultaneously if you use the
Mute and
Solo
buttons in the track header. The mute state overrides the solo state:
• If a track's Solo button is selected, the track is included in the solo group, but it will be muted whenever the mute automation is set to mute
the track.
• If the track's Mute button is selected, the track is muted regardless of the mute automation settings.
