mute source audio button
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?

I too, have wanted this feature since I started editing 5 years ago. "Its probably in the next update" - I'd tell myself. Now I find myself in the fetal position rocking back and forth in the shower until this gets added.

Definitely a must when scrubbing through a ton of b roll.

How the (@$#% hasn't this been added already?! It's such as SIMPLE request, and it's so easy to understand the benefits of this! While you can mute the Source Monitor using the Audio Clip Mixer, that window takes about 1000x more screen real estate than a tiny mute icon in the Source Monitor would. Furthermore, if the clip has several audio channels, it should be possible to mute individual tracks so that you can focus on the track that has the relevant audio.

Very frustrating that Adobe has yet to implement this simple but necessary functionality.

I need this desperately, not muting the whole app, not disabling scrubbing audio, not turning down all my clips audio, just... simply... muting the source panel audio ONLY! Dear lord why can't adobe do this, how many years have customers been requesting this?!!!

Have you ever heard timecode blasting through your ears? Would be nice to have "Audio Channels" button in source monitor so you could mute (Tentacle Sync) timecode written on one of the two stereo channels. Would def. increase ease of use while going through dailies and drag 'n drop on the timeline.

There is no mute button in the Source Panel, but the Audio Clip Mixer does have a mute button, and a volume control that works in conjunction with the Source Panel.

Shift+S does do the trick while you are scrubbing, but this seems so easy to just add a 'Mute Source' button, Adobe. A very common issue that we all share should be something taken care of in much shorter order than 3 years..

It's been 2 years and Adobe still doesn't understand the basic things to make users happy.
Davinci Resolve has its own mute button for muting source preview and it is not an exclusive editing software like Premiere Pro. I am not even saying that Resolve has a free edition. Shame on you Adobe... -

This would be amazingly helpful when I must pick out B-roll and music at the same time. Such a simple thing too. Get on this Adobe.

"Shift S" turns on & off Audio scrubbing. That will mute it in the source window and the timeline.

+1, this is such a basic Quality Of Life issue that could be solved with a simple mute button on the source monitor.

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.
