Working with Mixer Groups

Prior to mixing, you may find it useful to define some logical channel strip groups. Logic Pro
allows you to create a maximum of 32 groups and it’s possible for a channel strip to be
a member of multiple groups. You could, for example, group all drum channel strips
under one drum group. This would enable you to control the group meters (volume, pan,
and so on) using a single control, while still maintaining the relative parameter values of
each channel strip.

Note: Another way to do this is to create subgroups using aux channel strips. For more
information, see

Creating Mix Subgroups

.

Getting to Know the Mixer Group Settings

You use the Group Settings window to define the behavior of each group.

To open the Group Settings window
Do one of the following:

µ

Assign a channel strip to an inactive group.

µ

Click the Group slot of a channel strip, then choose Open Group Settings.

Note: Clicking the disclosure triangle in the Group Settings window hides or reveals the
settings. You can also resize the window, both vertically and horizontally.
