Cubase 15: Configuring Group Channel mute behavior

Demo summary
The presenter shows how to uncheck 'Group Channels Mute Sources' in the VST settings to allow group muting without individually muting the source tracks.
Step-by-step
- Open Settings (or Parameters on PC)
- Click on the VST tab at the bottom of the menu
- Uncheck the 'Group Channels Mute Sources' option
- Click OK
Tips
- Uncheck this setting if you have channels side-chained to others, as it allows the side-chain to continue working even when the group is muted
- Use this setting if you want to silence a group without individually muting every source track
