How do I create an expression that plays (or mutes) a section of material for a particular instrument on a particular pass (i.e. play 2nd x only, TACET 1st x, etc) for a given repeated section?

How you do it might depend on whether you are using MDI or Audio Units.

I'm using the Garritan Instruments thru Aria Player.

I have found that for Garritan sounds, the most secure method is to use an expression to change the channel to an unused channel on the pass needing tacet. Then, for the pass needing the playback, make an expression to change it back to the proper channel.

P.S.: Attached is a demo made in v25. It should open in 2014. Your profile says you have 2011. You should probably update that.
