Toggle Hide Group 33

Toggle the visibility of channels and tracks that are members of group 33. That’s a lot of groups to remember.

Edit group membership in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can add a channel strip to, or remove a channel strip from, single or multiple groups. You can also temporarily disable all group parameter links—applying a Group Clutch—to change the volume of an individual channel strip, for example.

NB Tracks are hidden when corresponding channels are hidden. In the Mixer window the channels are hidden only when the Mixer is in “Tracks” view.

  Delete Selected Groups

Removes the selected group(s). Channels are not affected. The group designation and settings are simply removed.

  Toggle Hide Group 1    ⌃⇧1

Toggle between showing and hiding the channels and tracks in group 1. NB the hiding of tracks is further controlled by the Hide button. When the Hide button is disengaged (green) tracks will not be hidden. The Hide checkbox on the track will be enabled or disabled as appropriate.

Hiding channels in the mixer windows can definitely help keep things from being confusing.

Hide tracks in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can hide and unhide tracks using the menu commands in the Track menu (Hide Track, Unhide All Tracks, and Show Hidden Tracks), or using key commands. The first time you hide a track, you use the key command, after which the Hide button appears above the track headers.

  Select Members of Group 1

Select all channels (and tracks) that are members of Group 1. Finally. A group number that I can probably remember.

During mix preparation I should probably assign tracks to groups when I create the summing folders for them. It might make things move a little faster and make things a bit more obvious. There is certainly no reason that I have to use separate groups for each summing folder (think stems) with multiple sets of channels in the same group.

Time to practice.

Groups inspector in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You use the Groups inspector to define the behavior of each Mixer group. The Groups inspector appears in the Track inspector when one or more groups have been created, and it can be opened as a floating window as well. It contains the following settings:
