A simple audio mute button on the source monitor.

It's REALLY time consuming to have to turn the volume down every time I want to scan source footage with audio. If you forget, it blares noise at you and you clients. Ever shoot in a factory or loud crowd or sporting event?

Please put a mute button on the source file viewer window. Often I'm looking through b-roll with mics set at various levels in various situations where footage can be extremely noisy. It slows the editing process having either having to turn down footage gain or adjusting the output audio.

While making b-roll selects I'd rather not have the audio scrubbing at the same time, a mute button on the source window would solve this problem without having to change global settings. Thanks!

Bump to get this done on Mac so music can be listened to while scrubbing footage

Right click on the Speakers Icon bottom right of your PC, select 'Open Volume Mixer' - and turn down the volume for Premiere pro whilst still keeping up the volume for spotify. You're welcome.

Agreed, it seems like such a basic function. I've resorted to muting the whole computer & listening to music on headphones via my phone.

Add me to this list. Continually turning down the volume on the source footage is driving me carzy

It would be so nice to be able to mute the source monitor when logging footage.

Yes please. The workarounds make no sense. I don't want to change the audio gain of all of my clips, I just want to be able to mute the source monitor.

Right click on the clips in the bin --> modify --> audio channels and de-click all channels --> do your work and repeat the process to edit with sound.

It works but a simple "mute all button" within the button editor would be awesome!

Bump for the master mute!
