Pro Tools Reference Guide16
write-enable a grouped track, any group
members that are hidden will be soloed,
muted, or automation write-enabled as
well. The only exception to this rule is
record enabling of Audio or MIDI tracks.
These functions are not applied to hidden
tracks in the Mix window.
In the Edit window, however, editing oper-
ations performed on members of an en-
abled group will not affect hidden tracks
that are also members of the enabled
group.
On TDM systems, even if a track is hidden
from view, its position relative to other
tracks still affects its virtual track playback
priority (see “Virtual Tracks, Voices, and
Track Priority” on page 54 for details).
The Mix Groups List
The Mix Groups list shows all groups in the
session. It allows you to activate a group by
selecting its name in the list. A group is
only enabled (meaning that its members are
linked for mixing purposes), when its
name is highlighted in this list.
You can also use this list to select grouped
tracks on-screen by clicking to the left of
the dotted vertical line next to a group
name. The pop-up menu at the top of this
list provides commands to create, delete or
suspend groups. You can link groups in the
Mix Groups and Edit Groups lists. For more
information on grouping, see “Grouping
Tracks” on page 62.
An Audio Track/Channel Strip
Each Audio track has its own set of controls
for volume, pan, record-enable, automa-
tion mode, solo, mute, and on TDM sys-
tems, voice assignment.
