Hi John, I think the issue is fairly complex. Buttons like solo and mute are essentially fixed in their positions. Yes, they can change position in general on the screen but they maintain their relative positions within the relationship of other controls. In addition, they have a simple

Hi, Trust me to come up with stupid questions to which there probably are very easy answers, but anyways, what are the differences between grouping and sub mixing? To me it looks just the same with the only difference being that when you submix, you do it to an auxiliary track, as i understand

Hi Brian, I'll have to try to recreate a similar setup. For what it's worth, I've never tried to affect a group via VoiceOver. I've always used a control surface. BTW, even when a group is active, it's possible to individually change the volume by modifying the drag of the fader or, with a

Hi Krister, Both scenarios essentially achieve the same results. By submixing, you're adding an extra track. While that usually isn't necessarily a problem, some people want to simply have as little a track count as possible. One other consequence of submixing to an auxiliary track is that,

Hi and thanks for that answer Slau. You know folks, now i feel i'm *really* starting to get the hang of Pro tools and what it's all about, and as a famous junk food chain so adequately puts it, I'm loving it. /Krister 4 okt 2014 kl. 16:28 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com: Hi

Slau, Thanks for looking into this. My Music Production Lab prof really stresses the importance of groups and would be nice if I could get them working correctly. I'm thinking by interacting with a fader on a track, it is adjusting it independently. Is there a way to adjust a fader with

Hi Brian, Indeed, I got the same results as you. It appears that the manner in which VoiceOver is interacting with the fader is more of a parameter change rather than a physical moving of the fader itself. In other words, one can drag a fader with a mouse and this changes the value. What

Hi Slau and all, If you have the option of making a VCA Master this will work. I just tested it in pt 9.3 and marked a hotspot on 2 of the test tracks and when I interacted with the VCA Master fader and moved up or down the tracks in the test group moved also. The rub is you half to have a VCA

Hi Brian, There are three types of groups: edit groups, mix groups and combination edit/mix groups. An edit group will not affect volume changes, only edits. A Mix group will affect volume only and not edits on the grouped tracks. Obviously, combination edit/mix groups do both. Make sure

Hi Slau, Thanks for the help, but it still doesn't seem to work. I set it as a mix group and made sure that group was active. When I interact with a track in the group and change the volume fader, it does nothing to the other track's faders in that group. Not sure what I'm missing? Brian On
