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 ‘Fred’. You can drag these tabs to add or remove tracks from a group.

Shared Properties

Gain means that the track faders will be synced to always have the same value; ‘Relative’ 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).

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
