where is my mute tool? It show up highlighted in the tool bar but does nothing when I try to mute a clip.  extremely annoying when I am paying monthly for so called upgrades.  Damn!!!  Perhaps I am doing something wrong

Did you know that you can mute a clip by selecting it and hitting the "K" on your keyboard?
That would mute the clip for you.  Also, if you want to mute multiple clips simultaneously you can either click/drag them then hit "K" or cntrl/click them and then hit "K".. Either way works.

Can you give steps to reproduce? Mute tool works fine here.

Seems like a fairly inflammatory response to a problem. The upgrades are literally upgrades.

We're not even quite sure what the problem is. Let's see if the OP can provide steps to reproduce.

I just select the mute tool, it shows up highlighted, but does nothing when I drag it in the clips. Simple as that. It doesn't show up as a tool

Are you dragging in the right part of the clip? You drag in the top half to un-mute, and in the lower half to mute.

^^^ Many tools in SONAR are position-sensitive.

Thanks everyone. I have been away. I will double check my technique

Quick version: Bottom half mutes by dragged region and top half un-mutes by dragged region.   HTH
