Hi, I have a song with 4 sequences and I can’t work out how to mute the audio tracks on some sequences but not others - is this possible or should I create samples instead? Cheers

Have you tried track mute yet?

I still haven't played with track mute yet but I think you just have to take the audio files out of those sequences. For whatever reason MIDI and program tracks mute per sequence but audio is global across the whole project. Mute it in one sequence, you've muted the entire audio track altogether.

Hello, what I found is, you, can’t Mute a copied áudio Track Between sequences, you have to erase the áudio track inside each sequence in order to make it work as you are trying to do. Maybe there is a BetteR workaround but I didn’t find.

I believe that this is because in MPC, you only have eight audio tracks across the project and they are shared across sequences in a similar manner to how plugins are shared across sequences.

Thanks for this!
