  Create Group for Selected Channel Strips

This goes right in there with yesterday’s ‘Create Track Stack for Selected Channel Strips’. Places all of the selected channel strips in a group.

Groups inspector — Logic Pro X

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:

Remember the group “clutch” ⇧G

⇧ SHIFT – ⌃ CONTROL – ⌥ OPTION – ⌘ COMMAND

Paste Channel Strip Setting ⌥⌘V — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

Useful when you want the same settings on another channel. I use this to setup mixes of live band recordings. Not so much if I am mixing with tracks all assigned to appropriate busses. If I like the channel strip setting so much I have been know to save it and use the Settings menu to set the channel up.

Toggle Hide Group 16 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Hide Group 16

Hmm. 32 groups. The keyboard commands for 1 through 9 are ⌃⇧1 to ⌃⇧9 .

The commands do what I expect. If there is a group numbered ‘n’ the command toggles the view of the tracks/channels. Hidden, but not like “Hide Track”.

Groups appear to be very useful. I should use them more. I fooled around with them a bit to try and change colors more easily, but they do so much more.

Groups are “mixer groups”. The overview helps us get started.

Groups overview
The Mixer groups feature is only available when Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane.

Prior to mixing, you may find it useful to define some logical channel strip groups. You could, for example, group all drum channel strips under one drum group. This would allow you to control the group meters (volume, pan, mute, solo, sends, and so on) using a single control, while still maintaining the relative parameter values of each channel strip.
