Quick Groups

Quick Groups allow you to effortlessly adjust identical controls across multiple tracks or buses. A Quick Group can either affect all tracks, or only selected tracks of the same type. You hold down the CTRL key to momentarily create a Quick Group.

The following rules apply when using Quick Groups:

Quick Groups only affect tracks of the same type (Audio or MIDI).

For instrument tracks, the relevant controls is treated as belonging to an Audio or MIDI track.

Quick Groups do not work between tracks and buses.

Quick Groups apply a relative adjustment to each control.

If you adjust a control in a selected track, only selected tracks of the same type are affected.

If you adjust a control in a non-selected track, all tracks are affected.

To use a Quick Group

Do one of the following:

To adjust the same control in all tracks. Hold down the CTRL key and adjust a control in a track that is not selected. Music Creator automatically adjusts the same control in all other tracks.

To adjust the same control in selected tracks. Select the tracks you want to adjust, then hold down the CTRL key and adjust a control in any selected track. Music Creator automatically adjusts the same control in all other selected tracks of the same type.

When you adjust controls in a Quick Group, each affected control displays a temporary group color.
