Mute problem??

[Goss-stick]

So I opened up a new session to record. But I can't hear my self in the ear phones, and what I notice was the "mute" button on the channel is faded out? When I press it then it lights up and the "mute" button is on. So what does it mean the mute is faded out? I really need to record a song asap and I can't because of this issue!

What do you mean by the mute button being faded out? "Control" + clicking on the solo or record buttons fades the button out, but I can't seem to do that with the mute button.

How can I recreate the situation you're having?
