Mute Button

[Paul Kellett]

Ok, project/veg from an old version of vegas now opened in 14 Pro, all good, timeline loaded etc, however, the mute button M on all the track headers (audio and video tracks) has a little cog on it, i can't just mute a track then unmute, each time i hit the mute button i'm actually getting a point on a mute envelope so then i have to right click on each track header and remove the envelope. However, if i add a new track then that track has just a standard mute button, M, no cog on it.

So 2 questions,

1, How can i remove that cog so i can just mute without the envelope ?, I can add an envelope if i want but would like the choice.

2, Any new tracks i add to the project have just the standard mute button, why no cog ?

I've got round the problem easily enough, i just opened a new instance of Vegas (no cogs on the M) and then copied and pasted the lot onto the new timeline (still not cog on the M). I just want to know what's causing the cog on the M.

Thanks, Paul.

This icon means automation is activated for the track.

On the left side of the Mute button there is a bigger cog icon. Click onto this one to deaktivate again.

Thanks Marco, that did it. I was hitting the little arrow next to that big cog, i knew i was close.

Thanks again, Paul.
