Enabling Groups

For more information, see the following topics:

Temporarily Isolating Control of an Item from Group Operation

Editing operations are not applied to members of a group that are hidden with the Track List. Mix operations (with the exception of record-enabling of tracks) are applied to hidden tracks.

Pro Tools lets you create separate groups for editing and mixing. You set this option when you use the New Group command. Groups that apply to both editing and mixing can be decoupled.

To enable a group:

In the Group List, click the name of the group you want to enable. The name is highlighted to indicate that it is enabled.

To enable additional groups, click their names in the Group List.

Moving a fader of a group member causes all other group members to move relative to it. If a fader belongs to multiple groups, and the groups conflict when faders are moved, the fader will follow the top-most or “parent” group to which it belongs.

To disable a group:

In the Group List, click the name of the group you want to disable. The name is unhighlighted to indicate that it is not enabled.
