- Subgrouping (sometimes known as "Grouping" or "Audio Grouping") - is a way to collect related signals together to apply some common - treatment, before sending them on to the main mix. One standard - application is to group several tracks belonging to the same instrument or - section (such as a drumkit or horn section), to be able to adjust their - volume with a single fader, after their inner balance has been set using - the track faders. -
- -- To create a subgroup from an existing Track/Bus group, context-click on - the relevant group tab, - and choose Add new subgroup bus. A new bus will be - created and every member of the track group will have its outputs disconnected - from other destinations and then connected to the new bus inputs. The bus - outputs will feed the master bus unless you have selected manual connections - for the session. The bus will be named after the track group name. -
-- Alternatively, you can create a group manually, by first adding a new bus, - then, for each track you want to feed the subgroup bus, disconnect its outputs - from the master and connect it to the inputs of the subgroup bus instead. - You can do this in the global audio patchbay or a track by track basis via the - output button of each track's channel strip. -
-- To remove a subgroup (bus), context-click on the track group tab, and select - Remove subgroup bus. You can also simply delete the - bus itself. Note that this operation will not restore signal - routing to the way it was before the addition of the subgroup bus—tracks - that had been subgrouped will be left with their main outputs disconncted. -
