unmute the track.

button is released.

3. Try muting all tracks with the exception of the Kick and Snare tracks 1

and 2. Muted tracks will be lit solid BLUE GREY

, while unmuted

playing tracks will flash in the colour of the track type if selected or white
if not selected.

4. Increase the bass cut off as the song develops and unmute the synth

tracks in order at the end of each bar. Unmute the hi hat track to add
some momentum.
