A track strip selector in the
Console view
You can make part of a Quick Group into a permanent group by right-clicking a grouped control, and
using the Group-Save command from the popup menu. This creates a group of whatever kind of
control you right-clicked from all the tracks or buses in the Quick Group. For example, if you have a
Quick Group made of three audio tracks, you could right-click the volume fader of one of the tracks, and
save the group. This would create a permanent group of the volume faders in the three audio tracks.
To Create a Quick Group
• Highlight the track strip or bus strip selectors of the tracks or buses you want to group by using
any of the following methods:
• Ctrl-click strip selectors if they are not adjacent.
• Click one strip selector, then shift-click another strip selector to select all tracks or buses that
are between them.
• Ctrl-click any strip selector that you want to de-select.
• Double-click a strip selector to select all tracks or buses.
To Remove all Controls from a Quick Group
• Click a strip selector that is in or out of the group.
Or
• Right-click a control in the group, and choose Clear Group from the popup menu.
To Make a Quick Group a Permanent Group
1. In a pre-exisiting Quick Group, right-click the kind of control that you want to group (for example,
volume) to open the popup menu.
2. Use the Group-Save command from the popup menu.
The Group Attributes dialog appears.
3. Choose a Group name and color, and click OK.
If you right-click a control to display the popup menu again, the name of your new group appears in the
Group menu. You can add other controls to the group by right-clicking a control, and choosing the group
from the popup menu.
You can choose the default color for Quick Groups in the Configure Colors dialog (Options-Colors
command).
