Groups inspector

You use the Groups inspector to define the behavior of each Mixer group. It contains the following settings:

• “Groups active” checkbox: Enables or disables all groups and group controls. Turn off this setting to edit track parameters outside of all groups. Press Command-G to do so when the Group Settings window is closed.

• On checkbox: Enables or disables a particular group. Turn off this setting to edit track parameters outside of the specified group.

• Name field: Shows the group name, which you can create or edit by double-clicking.

• H checkbox: When selected, hides all tracks belonging to the group. If the Hide Track buttons of grouped tracks are in different states, the H checkbox displays “–”.

• Editing (Selection) checkbox: When selected, selecting a region in the Tracks area selects the same horizontal region range of all tracks in the group.

• Phase-Locked Audio checkbox: Defines whether an edit group is phase-locked or independent when quantizing audio.

• Automation Mode checkbox: When selected, changing the automation mode of one track changes the automation mode of all tracks in the group.

• Volume checkbox: When selected, changing the Volume fader of one track changes the volume level of all tracks in the group. The channel strips continue to maintain their relative volume levels.

• Input checkbox: When selected, changing the input state of one track changes the input state of all tracks in the group.

• Record checkbox: When selected, changing the record-enabled state of one track changes the record-enabled state of all tracks in the group. Multiple channel strips can be simultaneously record enabled only if they use different inputs.

• Send 1 to 8 checkboxes: When selected, links the Send Level knobs individually for Send slots 1 to 8, while still maintaining the relative positions between them.

• Color checkbox: When selected, changing the color of one track assigns this color to all tracks in the group.
