Group Settings window in Logic Pro for Mac
You define mixer features that are controlled by a Mixer group and set other group behaviors in the Group Settings window. The Group Settings window is available in the inspector or as a floating window. It contains the following settings:
“Groups active” checkbox: Enables or disables all groups and group controls. Turn off this setting to edit track parameters outside of all groups. You can also press Shift-G (or use the Enable/Disable Groups key command).
On checkbox: Enables or disables a particular group. Turn off this setting to edit track parameters outside of the specified group.
Name field: Shows the group name, which you can create or edit by double-clicking.
H checkbox: When selected, hides all tracks belonging to the group. If the Hide buttons of grouped tracks are in different states, the H checkbox displays “–”.
Use the checkboxes in the Settings section of the Group Settings window to select which settings are controlled by the group:
Settings
Editing (Selection) checkbox: When selected, selecting a region in the Tracks area selects the same horizontal region range of all tracks in the group.
Quantize-Locked (Audio) checkbox: Defines whether an edit group is phase-locked or independent when quantizing audio.
Automation Mode checkbox: When selected, changing the automation mode of one track changes the automation mode of all tracks in the group.
Volume checkbox: When selected, changing the Volume fader of one track changes the volume level of all tracks in the group. The channel strips continue to maintain their relative volume levels.
Mute checkbox: When selected, changing the mute state of one track changes the mute state of all tracks in the group.
Input checkbox: When selected, changing the input state of one track changes the input state of all tracks in the group.
Pan checkbox: When selected, changing the Pan knob of one track changes the Pan knob of all tracks in the group. The channel strips continue to maintain their relative pan positions.
Solo checkbox: When selected, changing the solo state of one track changes the solo state of all tracks in the group.
Record checkbox: When selected, changing the record-enabled state of one track changes the record-enabled state of all tracks in the group. Multiple channel strips can be simultaneously record enabled only if they use different inputs.
Send 1 to 8 checkboxes: When selected, links the Send Level knobs individually for Send slots 1 to 8, while still maintaining the relative positions between them.
Color checkbox: When selected, changing the color of one track assigns this color to all tracks in the group.
Track Zoom checkbox: When selected, zooming a region in the Tracks area zooms the regions of all tracks in the group.
Hide checkbox: When selected, selecting the Hide button of a grouped track selects the Hide buttons of all tracks in the group.
