Grouping is one of the most powerful tools you can use during both the tracking and mixing process, but SONAR X2 offers up Quick-Grouping as an alternative method for making quick adjustments to your levels.
Let’s say you have mic’d up a drum set and you have been working diligently on the balance. Â Without realizing it you are completely clipping your Master Bus, don’t worry this happens to the best of us. The first thing that comes to mind is making a group to correctly adjust all your levels at once. This involves assigning each parameter to a group and then eventually turning that group off and on again when you need to make small adjustments.
Instead of doing that, try the following Quick Groups feature:
- Select all of your tracks using CTRL+A
- Hold CTRL
- This makes a temporary group of your selected tracks
- Move 1 fader
- The rest will follow suite and keep the fidelity of your balance
