Group tracks in live8- just some lazy questions

* do you know if you can colour them for better visibility?

* can you use them in the arrange view two (for example: like folders in cubase) ?

* can you put audio and midi tracks together in one group?

maybe someone knows this?

Hi mr.ergonomics,

The answer to all of these questions is "yes."

- colors are available for lots of different things now - all track types (including returns and the master), scenes, Macros, etc.

- Group Tracks exist in both Session and Arrangement View. The contained tracks can be folded or unfolded in a similar way on either side.

- audio and MIDI tracks can be combined in the same Group Track.

Best,

So imagine i fold a midi track with the notes, and a return track from a multiple output VSTi.

Can i set up the group track so that when i record enable it it records MIDI from my keyboard to the midi track, but when i drag volume or any other mixer setting it just applies to the reurn-audio track inside?

Would make much sense for working with multitimbral VSTis.
