Defining Group Settings
You can define the behavior of each group in the Group Settings window.
 Enable checkbox: Click to completely enable or disable a group. Disabled groups
appear in black.
 Name field: Click to name the selected group. As examples: Strings, Drum Sub-Mix,
and so on.
 Region Selection (Edit) checkbox: Selecting a region on one group member track
selects the same horizontal range of all group member tracks.
 Track Zoom checkbox: Zooming an individual group member track will zoom all
member tracks.
 Hide Track checkbox: Hiding an individual group track will hide all group member
tracks.
 Record Enable checkbox: Clicking the Track Record Enable button of an individual
track in a group will switch on/off the Track Record Enable button of all group
member tracks.
Important: Multiple track channel strips can only be simultaneously record enabled
if they use different inputs.
 Automation Mode checkbox: Changing the automation mode of an individual track in
a group will change the automation mode for all group members.
 Channel Strip Color: Changing the color of one group member channel will assign
this color to all group member channels. Using color makes it easier to identify the
string or brass sections, for example.
 Volume checkbox: Changing the volume fader of one group member channel will
change the volume of all member channels—while maintaining the level
relationships between them. Use a volume fader with a high initial setting, if
possible, as this will allow you a greater range of movement, and therefore, control.
 Mute checkbox: The mute status of all member channels is synchronized, with all
group members being muted or unmuted if one group channel is muted/unmuted.
