And each of those trqcks should have its own MIDI channel. Otherwise, even though you've separated the drum parts on to separate tracks, muting any one will mute them all. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Omar Binno Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2009 5:53 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: can you mute one sound on a track whilst leaving the other sounds? You should always split your drums onto different tracks.

I have a track with kick drum and snare, claps and high hats. Is it possible to mute the kick drum or should I have put the kick on one track, the high hats on another track, the snare on another separate track, and the claps on another track for more control over each sound? I used the roland Groove soft synth 909 kit. Thanks, Stacy
