Mix/Edit Groups Mode
Mix/Edit Groups mode lets you create, display, and edit
Pro Tools Mix and Mix/Edit groups in either of the two avail-
able banks of Custom Fader channels. Mix/Edit Groups mode
is useful for quickly calling the members of a group to a set of
faders for mixing and automation.

Press the Groups switch in the left or right Custom Fader
section.
The switch lights, the group's letter and name appear in the
corresponding Custom Fader display, and the group members
appear in the Custom Fader channels.
Mix/Edit Groups can also be displayed and recalled from the
Soft Keys section (in pages of six) by repeatedly pressing the
Bank Select switch in the Soft Keys section.
To focus different groups, press the corresponding switch in
the Bank Select Matrix. Groups are recalled in sequence ac-
cording to their group letter:
• Bank Select 1 corresponds to the All group.

• Hold Shift and press Bank/Cycle to change Bank Select
switches 1–12 to correspond to groups l–w.
• Hold Shift and press Bank/Cycle a second time to change
Bank Select switches 1–3 to correspond to groups x–z.
The Bank Select switches remember their previous mode
of operation (either Custom Groups or Mix/Edit
Groups). If you last used the Bank Select switch in

directly from the Bank Select switches. It is not necessary
