Enabling Groups
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 ed-
iting 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.
