quickly mute microphones while maintaining their respective track assignments.

Mono- and polyphonic files behave differently when selective muting is applied. When monophonic
files are selected, files from tracks A and B are named with the suffix “_1 and _2” respectively. If, for
instance, track A is muted but trackB is still selected, the resulting file will be named with the suffix
“_2” and track A will not be recorded, saving storage space.
When polyphonic file type is selected in the same scenario as above with track A muted, the result-
ing data file will be a two-track file with track A being a blank track. Blank tracks in polyphonic files
take up the same amount of storage space as tracks that are assigned.
