The Track and Bus Group List

This docks helps manage track/bus groups that exist in the session. These groups allow related tracks to share various properties (such as mute or record enable state). For full details, see the section called Track and Bus Groups.

Columns {#track-and-bus-group-list-columns}

The columns in this list are as follows:

Col	the colour that the group uses for its tab in the editor.
Name	the group name.
V	whether the tracks and busses in the group are visible.
On	whether the group is enabled.
G	ticked if the constituents of the group are sharing gain settings.
Rel	ticked if shared gains are relative.
M	ticked if the constituents share mute status.
S	ticked if the constituents share solo status.
Rec	ticked if the constituents share record-enable status.
Mon	whether the constituents share monitor settings.
Sel	whether the constituents are selected together.
A	whether the constituents share active status.

Buttons {#track-and-bus-group-list-buttons}

The [+]{.kbd .menu} button under the list allows the creation of an (empty) group, while the [−]{.kbd .menu} button deletes the selected group (but not the tracks in this group).

Right-click menu {#track-and-bus-group-list-right-click-menu}

The context menu, reached by [right]{.kbd .mouse}-clicking a group, allows for multiple mixing actions:

Create New Group From…	Creates a new group based on some track properties. The choice is: [Selection…]{.kbd .menu} to create a group of all selected tracks [Record Enabled…]{.kbd .menu} to create a group of all the tracks that are record enabled [Soloed…]{.kbd .menu} to create a group of all the soloed tracks
Create New Group with Master From…	Acts exactly as the previous choice, but also creates a Control Master tied to these tracks.
Assign Selection to Control Master…	Allows to link all the selected tracks to a chosen Control Master, whether or not they belong to a group.
Assign Record Enabled to Control Master…	Allows to link all the record armed tracks to a chosen Control Master.
Assign Soloed to Control Master…	Allows to link all the soloed tracks to a chosen Control Master.
Enable All Groups	Enable all the groups, i.e. their selected properties are synchronized.
Disable All Groups	Disable all the groups, i.e. changing a property in a track won't affect the others.

When a group is selected, [right]{.kbd .mouse} clicking it adds the following menu entries:

Create New Group with Master From…	Acts exactly as the previous choice, but also creates a Control Master tied to these tracks.
Edit Group…	Shows the [Track/bus Group]{.kbd .menu} window.
Collect Group	Rearranges the tracks/busses order to visually group together the tracks belonging to the same group.
Remove Group	Deletes the group (but not the tracks/busses belonging to this group).
Assign Group to Control Master…	Allows to link all the tracks in the group to a chosen VCA.
Add/Remove Subgroup Bus	Creates/removes a new bus connected to the Master, and send the output of all the tracks in the group to this new bus.
Add New Aux Bus (pre/post-fader)	Creates a new bus connected to the Master, and create Aux Sends (pre or post-fader) in all the tracks in the group to this new bus.
