<dfn>Subgrouping</dfn> (sometimes known as "Grouping" or "Audio Grouping")
|
|
is a way to collect related signals together to apply some common
|
|
treatment, before sending them on to the main mix. One standard
|
|
application is to group several tracks belonging to the same instrument or
|
|
section (such as a drumkit or horn section), to be able to adjust their
|
|
volume with a single fader, after their inner balance has been set using
|
|
the track faders.

To create a subgroup from an existing Track/Bus group, context-click on
|
|
the relevant <a href="@@the-track-and-bus-group-list">group tab</a>,
|
|
and choose <kbd class="menu">Add new subgroup bus</kbd>. A new bus will be
|
|
created and every member of the track group will have its outputs disconnected
|
|
from other destinations and then connected to the new bus inputs. The bus
|
|
outputs will feed the master bus unless you have selected manual connections
|
|
for the session. The bus will be named after the track group name.
|
|
</p>
|

|
|
Alternatively, you can create a group manually, by first adding a new bus,
|
|
then, for each track you want to feed the subgroup bus, disconnect its outputs
|
|
from the master and connect it to the inputs of the subgroup bus instead.
|
|
You can do this in the global audio patchbay or a track by track basis via the
|
|
output button of each track's channel strip.

|
|
To remove a subgroup (bus), context-click on the track group tab, and select
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Remove subgroup bus</kbd>. You can also simply delete the
|
|
bus itself. Note that this operation will <strong>not</strong> restore signal
|
|
routing to the way it was before the addition of the subgroup bus—tracks
|
|
that had been subgrouped will be left with their main outputs disconncted.
