Chapter 14: Grouping Tracks 271
To recall a Group preset:
 Click the corresponding Preset button (1–6) in
the Groups dialog. (
Follow Globals must be de-
selected to recall a setting in the Attributes
page.)
Enabling Groups
Editing operations are not applied to members of a
group that are hidden with the Track List. Mix op-
erations (with the exception of record-enabling of
tracks) are applied to hidden tracks.
Pro Tools lets you create separate groups for edit-
ing and mixing. You set this option when you use
the
New Group command. Groups that apply to
both editing and mixing can be decoupled.
To enable a group:
 In the Group List, click the name of the group
you want to enable. The name is highlighted to
indicate that it is enabled.
To enable additional groups, click their names in
the Group List.
Moving a fader of a group member causes all other
group members to move relative to it. If a fader be-
longs to multiple groups, and the groups conflict
when faders are moved, the fader will follow the
top-most or “parent” group to which it belongs.
To disable a group:
 In the Group List, click the name of the group
you want to disable. The name is unhighlighted
to indicate that it is not enabled.
Keyboard Selection of Groups
The Group List Keyboard Focus lets you type a
Group ID letter to automatically toggle that
group’s enable status.
 In the Mix window, the Group List Keyboard
Focus is always enabled.
 In the Edit window, you need to enable the
Group List Keyboard Focus to use it.
To enable the Edit Group List Keyboard Focus, do
one of the following:
 Click the Keyboard Focus button in upper right
of the Edit Group List.
 Press Control+Alt+3 (Windows) or Com-
mand+Option+3 (Mac).
To enable and disable groups using the Edit and
Mix Group List Keyboard Focus:
 With Group List Keyboard Focus enabled, type
the Group ID letter (a–z) to automatically en-
able or disable the corresponding group.
