Tracks and busses can be put into groups. You can set members of a group can to share various settings - useful for managing tracks that are closely related to each other. Examples might include tracks that contain multiple-microphone recordings of a single source (an acoustic guitar, perhaps, or a drum-kit).
You can group tracks and busses in various ways. In the editor window, a track's controls might look like these:
-The green tab to the left of the track header indicates that this track is in a group called âFredâ. You can drag these tabs to add or remove tracks from a group.
To edit the properties of a group, context-click (right-click) on its tab and choosing Edit Groupâ¦. This opens the track/bus group dialog, which is also used when creating new groups:
-Click on the color selector button to change a group's colour. This affects the colour of the group's tab in the editor and mixer windows. The color does not affect the color of the group members unless you also enable the shared Color
property.
Gain
means that the track faders will be synced to always have the same value; âRelativeâ means that the gain changes are applied relative to each member's current value. If, for example, there are two tracks in a group with relative gain sharing, and their faders are set to -3dB and -1dB, a change of the first track to a gain of -6dB will result in the second track having a gain of -4dB (so that the difference in gains is the same).
Muting
, soloing
, record enable
, active state
, colour
and monitoring
are all straightforward. They simply mean that all member tracks or busses will share the same settings in these respects.

Selection
means that if a region is selected or deselected on one constituent track, corresponding regions on other member tracks will be similarly selected. Corresponding regions are those that are at the same position and have the same length. Since region editing operations are applied to all currently selected regions, this is the way to make edits apply across all tracks in the group. For more details see Region Selection Equivalence
