LetÕs use a different method to solo all three percussion tracks:
1. In the Track pane, click the track number in the Drums track. The
track is selected.
2. While pressing Shift, click the track numbers in the Shaker and
Triangle tracks. All three percussion tracks are selected.
3. Choose Track-Solo .
When you want to let the entire ensemble back into the song, click the
Solo indicator on the Status bar to unsolo all the tracks, or select all
soloed tracks and choose Track-Solo. As a third option, right-click,
bring up the pop-up menu, and turn off the solo from there.
Note that Solo takes priority over Mute. If both buttons are selected in a
track, the track will be played.
Mute and Solo in the Console View
The Console view contains Mute and Solo buttons identical to those in
the Track view. The two sets of buttons are synchronized. To see this, do
the following:
1. In the Console view, mute the Bass, Sax, and Drums tracks.
2. Solo the Piano track.
3. In the Track view, check that the first track is soloed and that
tracks 2, 3, and 5 are muted. Click the selected Solo and Mute
buttons to return the tracks to normal.
