The Mute Groups facility on Ghost gives you a valuable tool for greater real-time
control during a mix. Up to four groups of sources (either on channel or mix B
inputs) can be created and assigned to a Master Mute button. During the mix,
these buttons can be used to bring the selected sources in and out of the mix, with
the same effect as if their individual mute buttons had been pressed.
A big advantage of using Mute Groups is that they can be set up and used very
quickly, without the more involved programming necessary for automated snap-
shot or fully dynamic mute automation; they are therefore ideal for auditioning
ideas which may later be programmed into the automation for repeatability.

Press the MUTE GROUP button (7). This activates mute Group Mode, which
allows the four Multifunction select switches to be used as Mute Master buttons.
Mute the required channel or Mix-B inputs by pressing their individual Mute but-
tons. (The red LED inside each switch illuminates when muted).
Press and hold down the master STORE button (8) and then dab one of the four
Multifunction select switches (7) which is to be the Mute master button for this
group of sources.
Release the STORE button. The message "Storing..." appears briefly on the 7-seg-
ment display.
This process can be repeated for up to three more groups of sources, pressing a
different Multifunction select button for each group. There is no problem in having
any channel mute assigned to more than one mute group.

Once set up as above, pressing any of the Mute Master buttons will toggle the
selected channels on and off.
More than one Mute Master button can be activated at the same time -in this case
the result will be that all the channels present in each mute group will mute
together.

To clear a Mute Group, follow the same procedure for setting up a mute group
(above), but make sure all channels are unmuted before doing the STORE opera-
tion.
