Add Keyboard Shortcut for "Solo Audio Track" and "Solo Selected Audio Clip"

I would like to request two highly useful audio features in Adobe Premiere Pro that are triggered via keyboard shortcuts:

  1. Solo Audio Track via Shortcut:
    A keyboard shortcut that solos the currently selected audio track(s) — muting all others. This would function similarly to how "S" works in Adobe Audition or other DAWs, allowing for fast isolation of a single track without needing to manually mute/unmute others.

  2. Solo Selected Audio Clip via Shortcut:
    A keyboard shortcut to solo the currently selected audio clip(s) in the timeline. Pressing the shortcut would temporarily mute all other audio clips and tracks, letting the user preview and fine-tune only what’s selected.

Why This Is Important:
Currently, isolating audio requires manually muting or soloing tracks, which breaks editing flow. Adding these shortcut-based solo options would:

  • Speed up audio editing, especially in complex timelines

  • Eliminate the need to navigate the mixer or toggle track buttons

  • Bring Premiere Pro in line with other professional audio tools

These features would be small additions with a huge impact on editing efficiency.

@karmart93 thanks for the good suggestions. As of Premiere Pro 25.3, your first request exists! There's now a keyboard-mappable command called "Toggle Solo for all Targeted Audio Tracks". Map this to whichever key you like, and when you press it, all the targeted audio tracks will toggle their Solo. So all you'd need to do is target the track in question and hit that key, and Solo will toggle.

 

It looks like it's missing from the official release notes (I'll get on that!) but you can see it in action here in the beta forum announcement post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta-discussions/now-in-beta-new-commands-for-toggling-track-mute-solo-and-output-in-the-timeline/td-p/15205381
