Muting and Soloing Drum Names

Metro’s Drums display allows Drum Names within a single track to be individually muted or soloed during playback. If you are using a color or grayscale monitor, you’ll notice two empty square fields to the left of each displayed Drum Name; clicking on either of these two fields displays the Mute and/or Solo buttons, respectively. On monochrome monitors, two pixel-sized indicators appear before each Drum Name; clicking on either of these two indicators displays the Mute and/or Solo buttons, respectively.

Muting and soloing Drum Names within the Drums display works much like muting and soloing tracks within the Tracks window. Clicking on the first field (or indicator) to the left of a displayed Drum Name causes a dot to appear, signifying that the Drum Name is muted; clicking on the Mute dot a second time unmutes the Drum Name. Multiple Drum Names can be muted simultaneously.

Clicking on the second field (or indicator) to the left of a displayed Drum Name causes a dot to appear, signifying that the Drum Name is soloed (all other Drum Names become temporarily muted); clicking on the Solo dot a second time unsolos the Drum Name (and unmutes all previously unmuted tracks). Multiple Drum Names can be soloed simultaneously.
