Working with Groups

Creating Groups
You can select the tracks you want to add to a
group before creating it, as well as add and re-
move tracks from a group after it has been cre-
ated.
In previous versions of Pro Tools, to add or
remove tracks from a group, you had to se-
lect tracks and overwrite the group.
To create a group:
Select the tracks you want to include in the
1
group. (If you do not select tracks at this time,
you can add tracks later.)
Do one of the following:
2
• Choose Track > Group.
– or –
• Choose New Group from the Group List
pop-up menu.
Enter a name for the group.
3
Select the type of group to create: Edit Group,
4
Mix Group, or Mix/Edit Group.
