...I want to remove the Pedal steel from the mixer window so that it does not play.
I select no patch. The Strings label turns white I press play or replay but the
steel guitar is still there.

What do I do?

Hi Pete,

Don't forget that "Patch" is a MIDI term.

If you are using a RealTrack, "Patch" is not going to change because the RealTrack is derived from an Audio file and not a MIDI command set.

Use the MUTE option to not hear a RealTrack in a song.

If you have a situation where you might want to hear that track at one place or more in the song, but not in others, don't use the Mixer for that, go to the ChordGrid view and RightClick on the bar where you don't want to hear the track, choose "Bar Setting" and select "Mute" from the dropdown slot that corresponds to the Track where the target instrument resides.

At another bar further down the timeline, you can do the above again and choose, "Return to Normal" to have that Track kick back in. Etc.
