Quick Groups allow you to effortlessly adjust identical controls across the same Take lane in different tracks. For example, you can quickly mute all Take lanes named T2. You can Quick Group the Mute, Solo, Arm for Recording and Edit Filter controls. Quick Groups 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.
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. SONAR 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. SONAR automatically adjusts the same control in all other selected tracks of the same type.
For example, to change the Edit Filter on all Take lanes originally named T2, select the tracks you want to include in the Quick Group, then hold down the CTRL key while you adjust the Edit Filter control on any selected lane named T2.
