The Goups List allows to quickly manage the groups of the session, and make use of them.
Each group has a Show checkbox to quickly toggle their visibility. Clicking an already selected group allows to rename it.
The context menu, reached by right clicking a group, allows for multiple mixing actions:
Create New Group From… | Creates a new group based on some track properties. The choice is:
|
---|---|
Create New Group with Master From… | Acts exactly as the previous choice, but also creates a Control Master tied to these tracks. |
Assign Selection to Control Master… | Allows to link all the selected tracks to a chosen Control Master, whether or not they belong to a group. |
Assign Record Enabled to Control Master… | Allows to link all the record armed tracks to a chosen Control Master. |
Assign Soloed to Control Master… | Allows to link all the soloed tracks to a chosen Control Master. |
Enable All Groups | Enable all the groups, i.e. their selected properties are synchronized. |
Disable All Groups | Disable all the groups, i.e. changing a property in a track won't affect the others. |
When a group is selected, right clicking it adds the following menu entries:
Create New Group with Master From… | Acts exactly as the previous choice, but also creates a Control Master tied to these tracks. |
---|---|
Edit Group… | Shows the Track/bus Group window. |
Collect Group | Rearranges the tracks/busses order to visualy group together the tracks belonging to the same group. |
Remove Group | Deletes the group (but not the tracks/busses belongidng to this group). |
Assign Group to Control Master… | Allows to link all the tracks in the group to a chosen VCA. |
Add/Remove Subgroup Bus | Creates/removes a new bus connected to the Master, and send the output of all the tracks in the group to this new bus. |
Add New Aux Bus (pre/post-fader) | Creates a new bus connected to the Master, and create Aux Sends (pre or post-fader) in all the tracks in the group to this new bus. |
The + button under the list allows the creation of an (empty) group, while the − button deletes the selected group (but not the tracks in this group).
