From Audacity Development Manual
(Redirected from Tracks Menu: Mute/Unmute)

The Mute/Unmute submenu mutes or unmutes all of the tracks in your project in one go, without having to use the buttons Mute and Unmute in each track's Track Control Panel.

## Muting

If a track is muted, it cannot be heard in the project and is not exported from it.

| The track mute and solo buttons are usually used to change which tracks are muted, rather than these menu items.

## Unmute All Tracks Ctrl + Shift + U

Unmutes all the audio tracks in the project, as if you had used the Mute buttons from the Track Control Panel on every track.

## Mute Tracks Ctrl + U

## Unmute Tracks Ctrl + Shift + U

Unmutes all selected audio tracks in the project, as if you had used the Mute buttons from the Track Control Panel on each selected track.
