Selecting Multiple Tracks - Grouping Track Controls

To select multiple tracks, click on the track number or in the track name area while holding Ctrl key or Shift key.

This groups the track controls. The corresponding controls are changed on all tracks of the selection when one of the involved controls is changed.

Now, when you operate a button or control on one track, the corresponding controls of the other tracks in the group change with it. This applies to most of the track's parameters, only certain settings, such as plug-ins or the comment field, are not edited together.

This group behavior also applies in the mixer. In this case, the multitrack selection exists in addition to control groups previously created in the mixer, if the same controls are included.

When selecting audio inputs and outputs, all available inputs or outputs can optionally be distributed to the selected tracks.

1. Select multiple tracks.

2. Assign an output to one of the tracks, e.g. in the Audio section of the Track Editor.

3. Click on OK in the query dialog (Multi I/O Routing).

4. The output is assigned to the first selected track, subsequent tracks get the output with the next higher number.

   If more tracks are selected than outputs are available, the assignment for the remaining tracks remains unchanged.

To remove a track from an existing multi-track selection, Ctrl-click in the track name area.

As soon as you click on a track that is not part of the multiple selection, the multiple selection is resolved. If you always want to adjust certain tracks together, you can keep the multiple selection by grouping the tracks.

To do this, choose Track Properties > Group Track Controls from the Track menu or the Track Head context menu. The grouping of the tracks is now preserved, even if you select a different track. To ungroup, select Track Properties > Ungroup Track Control.

Note: Please note that a control element can only be in one control group at a time. Overlapping control groups cannot exist.
