**Mute and solo along the routing.** A muted track passes nothing on: neither its items nor what
comes into it, on no link, whatever its mode. While some tracks are soloed, a soloed track is heard
with every track that goes into it. The tracks it goes through on its way out pass it on, but their
own items are silent. Every other track is silent. So with A into B and B into the output, solo on A
lets A be heard through B, without what lies on B. Only the ways through a soloed track are open: if
A and B go into C and also straight into the output, solo on C lets A and B be heard through C only,
their links into the output closed.
