When you mute a track in Reaper, the track is still there but it’s just not playing. You can still see the waveforms and everything, but it’s like the track is paused. This can be useful for quickly muting a track without having to delete it or anything like that.
To mute a track, just click the Mute button at the top of the track. You can also use the keyboard shortcut “m” to mute a track.
If you want to mute a track in automation, you can do that too. Just right-click on the track and select “Mute in Automation.” This will mute the track whenever the playhead is in an automated section.
You can also use the “Mute in Automation” button at the top of the track. Just click it and the track will be muted in automation.
That’s all there is to it! Muting a track in Reaper is easy and can be a useful way to quickly silence a track without having to delete it.
