I can edit any of the "normal" tracks, which I've done, but there's no option to edit any of the Utility tracks.

Is there another way to Mute/Back to Normal etc Utility tracks.

Thanks
Brian

So it seems editing Utility tracks audio has to be done in the Edit Audio window.

It's doable and really good for finer audio editing, but for quick basic Mute/Back to Normal etc edits the F5 option is quicker.

Maybe the Utility tracks could be added to the F5 options in the future.

Thanks

I'm posting some added information for clarification to the original posts questions about Mute/return to normal feature since the post is a question rather than a 'Wishlist' item.

For those that may not be completely familiar with BIAB Audio Editing and want a quick, basic Mute/Back to normal edit of a Utility Track, there's nultiple ways to mute/unmute within the BIAB Audio Window. Previous posts have explained two, the Volume Automation tool and RealTrack replacement.

First. There are 5 different ways to Mute/Return to normal to Utility Tracks than the Bar Settings Window (F5).

Second. All of the options of Bar Settings that apply to RealTracks in the Legacy Tracks can be done, and with more precision, in the Audio Edit Window equally for all 24 tracks. Learning to edit from the Audio Edit Window will be more beneficial immediately because the user will have full access to all tracks, Legacy and Utility, and editing will be uniform for every track. Every track is accessible immediately with a single mouse click and the edit region selected remains active.

Third. My experience with editing from the Audio Edit Window has shown it's overall faster, more precise and takes less mouse selections than doing the same task in Bar Settings (F5).
