Working With Groups
The Group slot allows you to assign a channel strip to a group.
A group combines multiple channel strips, linking some of their properties—their
volume faders and Mute buttons, for example. If multiple audio tracks (with individual
choir voices) are assigned to one group, changing the volume of one choir track
changes the volume of all choir tracks. Individual level relationships—at the time the
channels were assigned to the group—are retained.
The Group Settings allows you to define the behavior of each group. As an example,
you could define a group that links the selection of channels in the Arrange window,
thereby linking all edit operations you perform on grouped tracks.
You can create up to 32 groups. Each channel can be a member of multiple groups.
To assign a channel to a group:
1 Click the Group slot to open the Group menu.
2 Choose one of the 32 groups.
When you choose an inactive group number, the Group Settings window will open
automatically (see next section). Individual channels can belong to more than one
group.
To add a channel to an additional group:
m Press Shift while choosing a group in the Group menu.
The Group slot displays all groups a channel is assigned to.
