All Tracks that were selected will now be a part of the new Edit Group. Edit Groups are
automatically named based on the order in which they are created, and they are shown as
Group 1, Group 2, and so on. The name of the new Edit Group will be shown in the Edit Group
selector box under the Track Type icon on all Tracks in the Group. You can rename an Edit
Group by clicking in the Group selection box on any track in the Group and selecting Rename
Group.
To add a Track to an existing Edit Group, click on the Edit Group box
(under the Track Type icon) on the desired Track in the Arrange view.
Then, in the pop-up menu, choose the Edit Group to which you wish to
add the Track.

all Tracks in the Group. Edit actions performed on any Event for any Track
in the Group will be performed on all Events for each Track in the Group.

6.6.3 Temporarily Suspending Edit Groups
Certain actions—such as moving a fader, muting, and soloing—can be performed on a track
within an Edit Group, without affecting the group as a whole, by temporarily suspending the
group. To do this, hold [Alt]/[Option] on the keyboard while performing an action on a track.

Timestretching

It is possible to stretch an Audio Event to fit a tempo other than its original tempo, without
changing the pitch. This is called Timestretching, and it can be used to effectively slow down
or speed up an Audio Event. For instance, a 1-bar drum loop recorded at 120 bpm (beats per
minute) can be stretched to fit into 1 bar at 100 or 140 bpm without significantly changing the
pitch and overall sound of the original audio.
Timestretching and defining a file tempo are nondestructive, so they can be undone and
redone. It is also possible to switch Tempo modes for any Audio Track, on the fly. For example,
