Ableton Forum

Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out how to group tracks. But I can only create groups with just one track inside.

1) I select the track to group.
2) I press "Shift + track" and then group.
3) A new group is created.


But no idea how to add tracks there.

I don't know how to select more than one track for example, for cueing purposes. I can only select one track at a time.

I've been searching in the forum and I could not find the reply.
Also support does not answer any of the opened cases....

This is weird for such a pricey device.

It's not the most obvious thing... but it's in the manual:
"You can group tracks by holding the Select button and then pressing the lower display button for each track that you want to group. Then hold the Shift button and press one of the lower display buttons from the selected tracks, and select Group."

Thank you so much. I could not find the manual page when I looked for it in my language.

Yes I know. It's always best to check the English version as the other languages are sometimes updated a bit later.

OMG I did not know you could do this and have been putting compressors on every track for sidechain lol. This will give me some resources back and help my mixing when just on P3S.

Bless you all

When I follow the manual instructions I can't select multiple tracks. Anyone else experiencing this? A bug or a button combo I am missing?

There's no visual representation of multiple tracks being selected, but if you follow the steps it'll work.
Yeah, this implementation needs some improvement.

You're right, it works. Many thanks!
