In Blackbird, you can also solo or mute audio sub-tracks using a similar method as audio tracks. However, instead of affecting the entire track, you will be modifying the level and pan characteristics of the specific sub-track group. Here's how to do it:
- This functionality primarily takes place on the edit-side timeline, but it can also be used on the source side. To access the audio sub-tracks, right-click on any or all audio tracks to expose them.
- Once the sub-tracks are visible, you can mute level or pan adjustments on a specific track by left-clicking on the associated monitor button to disable it.
- For example, if you want to mute level adjustments over time on a particular sub-track, click on its monitor button to disable it. This will effectively play the clip at its recorded volume without any level modifications.
- Similarly, if you want to mute the pan adjustment track for a specific sub-track, click on its monitor button to disable it. This will play the clip without any pan adjustments, keeping it centered in the stereo field.
- To solo a specific sub-track, right-click on the track. This action will mute either the level or pan characteristics on all the other tracks within that sub-track group, allowing you to focus on the adjustments of the selected sub-track.
By using these methods, you can control the level and pan characteristics of specific sub-tracks in your audio content, giving you more flexibility and precision in your audio editing process.
