Can I Mute Multiple Tracks At Once?

I have a project with 10 tracks. Sometimes I want to mute 9 of the tracks so I can just work on one single track. Currently, I have to mute all 9 tracks individually.

What I thought would improve my work flow is if I could select all the tracks and mute them all at once. Then I could just unmute the track that I wanted to work on, effectively instead of taking 9 individual actions, I'd only be taking 2.

I had a play around this morning but couldn't find a way to do it. Can it be done?

Thanks.

Why not just "Solo" the one you are working on?

Mist001 You have 2 replies for the "insert silence" query you asked about in case you haven't seen them.
You can hold CTRL and select the tracks you need to solo/mute/ pan/ volume and more, altogether.
You can also hold shiift then select the first and last track if they are together then solo etc together.

Hi,

One more goodie: hold down the Ctrl key and click Solo to automatically un-solo all other soloed tracks.

This also works with Mute: holding down the Ctrl key and clicking Mute automatically un-Mutes all other tracks.

Good morning,

If you highlight a group of tracks you can mute/solo/pan/fade/resize all of them at the same time.

Hi,

And then of course, you can also link tracks. (Select a group of tracks by ctrl-clicking, even if they aren't next to each other, then right-click and select Link).

Or put them in a submix, and mute the submix.
