+ Having a persistent group of tracks and/or busses has a number of pros, + such as being able to control faders of multiple tracks at once, at any + moment in time. However, Ardour also supports "quick" temporary groups. +

+ +

+ Selecting multiple tracks or busses either in the Editor or in the Mixer + window allows treating those tracks and/or busses as a group as long as + the tracks/busses are selected. This means: +

+ + + +

+ If one of the selected tracks/busses belongs to a persistent group, + selecting it will automatically all the other members of that persistent + group and affect respective controls there as well. This can be worked around + by opening group's setting and changing what controls are shared in the group. +

+ +

+ There are two cases where quick groups will not work as expected: +

+ +
    +
  1. + When a change to a control in a selected track/bus comes from a hardware + control surface. +
  2. +
  3. + When you use the mouse scroll wheel to adjust faders + (this is a temporary limitation). +
