Folder Track Grouping - PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual

8.8.2 Folder Track Grouping

Clicking on the Group icon on a Folder Track will create a Group with the name of the Folder
Track and will place all Tracks it contains in the Group. This is exactly the same as selecting all
of the Tracks and grouping them with [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+G: The Tracks will be selected together in
the Mixer and Arrange views, and the events on the Tracks will be edited together. If the
Group icon is engaged on a Folder Track, clicking on it again will remove the Group.
If a Track is already in a Group prior to being placed in a Folder Track, and the Folder Track
Group is engaged, that Track will be placed in the Folder Track Group when placed in the
Folder Track. If removed from the Folder Track, a Track will retain its Group setting.
8.8.3 Folder Track Busing
Clicking on the Bus selection box to the right of the Group icon on a Folder Track will allow the
selection or creation of a Bus Channel. Choose from an existing Bus Channel or Add a Bus to
switch the output for all Tracks contained in the Folder Track to a Bus Channel. If adding a new
Bus Channel, the Bus will take the name of the Folder Track.
If a Bus selection is made, the Folder Track will act as an effects-drop target for the Bus
Channel when dragging effects from the Browser onto the Folder Track.
As with Folder Track Grouping, if the Folder Track has a Bus Channel selection, any Track
added to the Folder will be routed to that Bus when placed in the Folder Track. If removed
from the Folder Track, a Track will keep the Bus as its Output Channel selection.
For Instrument Tracks, the Track's related audio channel will be routed to the Folder Track Bus
channel. The related audio channel is the one shown in the Inspector under the Out and In
selections for an Instrument Track. As noted elsewhere in this manual, the Audio selection for
an Instrument Track is purely organizational and allows Studio One to accomplish workflow
enhancements like the aforementioned. If a virtual instrument is using multiple Output
Channels, you should take the time to organize which Instrument Tracks routed to that virtual
instrument are related to which Output Channels in the Inspector.
