Mute and solo
Each track has a Mute (M) and Solo (S) button. Activating Mute prevents you
from hearing the track. When you solo a track, the other tracks become muted
so that you hear only the soloed track(s). You can have several tracks muted or
soloed at a time.
• If you want to deactivate all the mutes or solos, click the “Deactivate all Mute”
or “Deactivate all Solo” buttons in the common panel on the left side of the Mixer.
Adding EQ
EQ or equalization amplifies or attenuates frequencies so that you can place
each instrument correctly in the mix. EQ settings depend greatly on the style of
music that you are mixing. In this section you will get to know the EQ features
in Cubase. Proceed as follows:
1. In your project, select an audio track with a drum recording.
2. Set up a cycle and play it back so that you can hear the EQ changes you
are making.
3. Open the Mixer.
4. Solo the track and click the “Edit Audio Channel Settings” button.
