Mute and solo channel strips in MainStage

You can silence (mute) a channel strip so that you don’t hear it when you play the patch. Muting channel strips is useful when you want to compare how the patch sounds with and without the target instrument.

You can also listen to a channel strip signal alone (solo), silencing all other channel strips.

Mute a channel strip

  • In MainStage, click the channel strip’s Mute button.

    Figure. Pointing to the Mute button.

The Mute button turns blue. Click the button a second time to restore the channel strip to its previous level.

Solo a channel strip

  • In MainStage, click the channel strip’s Solo button.

    Figure. Pointing to the Solo button.

The Solo button turns yellow. The Mute buttons of all unsoloed channel strips flash blue, with the exception of external MIDI channel strips.

Solo a channel strip when another channel strip is already soloed

  • In MainStage, option-click an unsoloed channel strip.

This action solos the selected channel strip and unsolos any other channel strip.
