To „mute“ a Layer, press and hold the „alt“ key and click on the desired Layer you want to mute.
The color of the Layer name switches from light blue to dark blue and thus the „mute“ status also
gets displayed graphically.
The Layer Priority button „p“ is a kind of enhanced „Solo“ button.
This feature will help you to avoid the permanent selection and deselection of different Layers in
order to achieve different „solo“ settings.
Select one Layer (or press and hold the „shift“ key to select multiple Layers) and click the „p“
icon. The background color of the selected Layer(s) switches from light blue to orange and thus the
„priority“ status also gets displayed graphically. Now just the orange colored Layers are audible. As
long as the priority option is activated you can add and remove Layers with the held „shift“ key and
your mouse or also select a new Layer. To disable the priority function please click on the „p“ icon
again and all Layers get restored to their standard color and basic status.
As already indicated above, Independence generally shows the status of a Layer in different colors.
• active Layer: light blue Layer name
• selected Layer: light blue background
• priority Layer: orange background
• muted Layer: dark blue Layer name
• keys witch Layer: orange Layer name

You can easily change the order of the Layers per drag‘n‘drop. Click on the Layer number and drag
it to the desired position.
