No thats not what I mean. Option clicking will snap all the selected to 0db. I want to move all the small faders such as the "all" group effects the large faders.
Thanks, D

it's for headphone mixes by the way.

there's no way to do it that I know of.

Workarounds: get your mix on the large faders, select the tracks you want to mirror levels to sends, and then use the edit command: Automation-copy to send. This will get you there quickest for drums, for example.

The other (more cumbersome) way is to have sets of aux inputs that mirror your audio tracks. Audio tracks are routed to main mix with no phones send, aux tracks are grouped as needed and sent POST FADER to headphones, main output for each aux is set to a dummy output or bus. Won't work for playback or punching though. I don't use this method.

I don't think there is a command, but you have an option in preferences to have them at inf or 0.

What version of PT you on?

For 7.3, when you create or edit a group, under "linked within groups" check send
levels and mutes.

For 7.1(?) and lower, the option was under setup->preferences somewhere to
make send mutes and levels follow groups.

I couldn't find that command in LE 7.1, is that a TDM only option?

Sweet! I love learning stuff...

And yeah, the copy to sends command might be HD only... sorry.

Thanks, that's gonna be very useful for me too because at the studio we have HD but with Pro Tools 6.9.1. I'll check it out as soon as I get there.

GroovnD313 · 6th November 2007, 03:49 PM

I tried every possible combination, I didnt think there was a way to do it. Thanks for all the great tips though.

I'm in 7.2

CaptainHook · 7th November 2007, 10:04 AM

Explain exactly what you're doing, and what isn't working...?

My understanding is, you want to be able to adjust the fader on one send,
and have all of them move with it? Or mute etc etc?

Just make sure all the sends on the channels belong to a group and the group
is active, and make sure the option i mentioned is turned on where ever it
is in your version. Or even have the 'all' group selected.

I think in 7.2 it's in the create and modify group window/dialog.

Pretty sure it's been around since the start of version 6 and perhaps
even 5 but can't really remember.

For all those that didn't know, don't worry i only discovered marker colours
this year.

I think GroovnD313 meant that before reading the solutions on this thread he tried everything without success.

CaptainHook · 8th November 2007, 06:28 AM

Oh, so he's sorted then? :)

. GroovnD313 where are you?

GroovnD313 · 8th November 2007, 03:20 PM

Ya Captain nailed it. I never thought to add the sends under the 'globals' . This will be handy when the headphone mix is running a little out of control and getting close to running red on the aux send. I can just pull everything down quickly and tell the band to turn up their volume. More me more me more me. Thanks guys. -D
