Muting audio playback in Premiere

[rhythmstyx]

This is a very specific and odd question, but I imagine it's something many editors experience.

I'm working on a bunch of custom effects and keyframing on my sequence and don't need to hear the audio tracks while I'm playing back over and over around my sequence because I'm only focusing on the video. I'd like to be able to listen to Spotify or iTunes while I do this, and not hear the audio from the sequence playing when I am testing and playing back the visuals. I know I can mute all the tracks in the sequence and then when I am done, unmute them, but is there another way of doing this? A simple turning off audio output from Premiere? I actually have a couple tracks that I'm already keeping muted so muting them all will require me to remember to mute them again if I'm unmuting all tracks.

Again, I do have my own workaround, just wondering if people who do more graphical work in Premiere have a workflow when not needing to hear the audio tracks.

Use a netbook or laptop or phone for that while you edit on the editing computer.

I solo & mute 1 track

I would go with what Trevor said, make a mute track, put all your permanently muted stuff in there, then the rest of the tracks are the ones you want. Mute and unmute those as you want.

Premiere Pro takes over all computer audio when running

select all your audio tracks, right click on them and uncheck 'enable'

this will also give your audio tracks a dark pale color so that you will

always remember that they are disabled so that when you need them

you will enable them again ....

in short

ctrl + A to select all, right click, uncheck enable, this will disable all your audio tracks, to be enabled back whenever you like
