Mute Clip Audio While Logging
Hey everyone,
New to the forum — after scanning old threads, couldn’t find an answer to my question.
I’m making log notes a bunch of already captured B-Roll, and I have no reason to listen to the Audio; so, naturally, I’m blasting my music.
Is there a way I can mute ALL audio in FCP? Or, at least, all of the audio that will be playing through my Viewer?
I’ve tried the master mute button under the Audio Mixer, but I can only get it to mute 1 clip at a time.
It’d be great if there was a way to mute all the clips I’ll be viewing/logging with as few actions as possible. Would love to listen to my music without the sounds of cattle breaking through.
Thanks for your help!

Quick BG on me if you’re interested:
I’m an independent filmmaker who’s just starting to use FCP7. When I Direct/Produce my own content, I prefer to work with an editor, but my latest job has me in a post heavy position. It’s a lot of fun, as I’m starting to fall in love with editing again. I used to cut on Avid. -

I am exporting OMfs from my machine at the moment so I can’t check but have a look at your FCP prefs. You might be able to set it so the audio output doesn’t go to your computers output.

Hey Michael,
Thanks for your reply. I’ve wrapped for the day, but I’ll give this a try tomorrow. Didn’t even think of this as a solution, but I’m pretty sure you’re right.

If Michael’s option doesn’t work, just pull the Master Output faders down all the way in the FCP Audio Mixer.

Went into “Audio/Video Settings” under application menu of FCP. Turned my Audio to “Built-in Output”; which my tower must not have, because I’m not hearing anything. Now I can have Daft Punk and Yaks — yay~!
Thanks for your help gentleman.
