This is driving me bonkers, I have muted all but one track in a project, if I mute and then unmute the Stereo Out, every muted track gets unmuted. Why’s that? Maybe I have set some weird option by mistake?
Thanks for any help.
Well… what do you expect that should happen when you unmute the master?
It’s exactly as it should be.
I remember getting bummed that all my carefully crafted individual track mute/solo states would be lost by toggling the Master mute/solo button.
A few of ways to not lose your when you kill the output of your project:
- Bring your hardware volume down to zero if you have one within reach
- Turn your Control Room volume knob down to zero, if you are using Control Room. (If you’re not and haven’t considered doing so, I highly recommend you do!)
- Drag your Master out volume fader to zero.

Really?
No, I expect that when I unmute the master out, I unmute the master out, not other tracks that were already muted. Why should it unmute other tracks, that’s like saying if I turn off my speakers and then turn them on again, every bit of gear I have turns on - it makes no sense.
When I unmute a master output track on a real console it does not effect the sources that feed that master. It should only mute the master output. The Nuendo way wrecks your source layout. It’s a nightmare. It should not work this way. It does not work this way in PT or other Daws I familiar with not does it work this way on the big iron I’ve worked with. A master, traditionally is just an output amplifier that you’ve bussed your individual source “channels” to. It has no effect on the sources. It should not effect the individual buss/mute on every channel.
On my version 12.0.60 PC the mute toggle of Stereo Out has no effect on the other tracks.
Why do I not get the problem that you describe?
No it doesn’t. The post is about Cubase!
If you didn’t change the default behaviour, what do you expect?
Deactivate “Group channels: Mute sources as well” should do the trick.
Yep, got that deactivated to show the above GIF. So, it is not a bug but rather a setting.
st10ss, I expect it to work like the audio consoles and DAWS I’ve been working on for the last 40 years. If this an option they got the default wrong. Thanks, Johnny_Moneto, I’ll check that out.
Interestingly, I have no groups enabled. I took Johnny_Moneto’s helpful advice. I’ll test where it doesn’t blow up my session.
