  17     A track can be deactivated from the track context menu which is accessed
  18     by clicking on the empty space in the &TRACK_CONTROLS; and choosing the
  19     <guimenuitem>Active</guimenuitem> menu item. A track can also be made
  20     inactive from the track name button in a &MIXER_STRIP;.

  28         The &TRACK_CONTROLS; and &MIXER_STRIP; of inactive tracks have a

  34     Deactivating a track will silence it and reduce the amount of system
  35     resources required to operate the session. An inactive Audio Track will
  36     not read audio data from disk, unlike when a track is
  37     <link linkend="sn-muting-tracks">muted</link>.
