Subgroups have been around forever on mixing consoles, and there is a reason. They help give you control over your mix in a way that compliments having the individual channels accessible. Want to turn up the drums a bit here? One fader and you’re done. The guitars need a bit of compression? One plugin and you’re done.
This Works In Any DAW
As with all of these 5 minute video tutorials, the concepts are applicable to any DAW, not just Pro Tools. No matter what your recording platform of choice calls them, you can create subgroups quickly and easily. And the more you use them the more uses you will find for them. Take a look…

My name is Graham Cochrane and I'm the founder of The Recording Revolution, one of the world's most loved audio recording and mixing blogs with over 200,000 readers each month. 
Works in every DAW except Garage Band. Oh, well, it’s free. I know some people have actually bounced solo’d tracks to iTunes and then reimported that new track as a new summed track, but it would be nice if Apple would give me buses. I guess GB is more of writing tool, and, as such, doesn’t really need it.
Yeah, Garageband doesn’t quite work the same way as most. Still a valuable tool.

Reaper makes this really easy
When various instruments are grouped together being each one with specific frequency range and the volume of all the tracks are changed at once is any kind of automatic loudness compensation or something like that provided by the software to keep the same perceived volume of all the instruments? I just read something about the “fletcher-munson curve” and how the the changes in volume alter the way we hear different frequency ranges and was just wondering about it.
Please, sorry for my english and thanks for all the tips and information.
Not that I am aware of. Yes if you change the volume of a track or group of tracks, the frequency response will change as well.
Hi just a question When you record drums , Do you process the signal on the way to the DAW ? like EQ , Comp ,? to my ear the sound of your raw drums does not sound like natural especially with the mic set you use (samson kit) can you give me the path you use on the way to the DAW? thank you you are very help full

Leo – I personally record completely raw to my DAW. It is a matter of preference.
Hi, I was wondering what short keys you used to make all the selected channels go to the same bus at the same time. I thought it was very cool and I really want to learn cool short keys like that as it would be really time saving and make my sessions move much smoother. Also, do you have any reccommendations like websites where I can find info on short keys for protools? Thanks and have a good day!!!
Shift click and select the desired channels, then continue to hold SHIFT + OPTION as you change the send. It affects them all. All of the Pro Tools shortcuts are listed in the menus in Pro Tools so you can learn a lot from there. If you haven’t already gone through my Pro Tools Boot Camp, that will teach you a lot of them as well! http://www.protoolsbootcamp.com/
Hi Gram;
I’m a windows/protools guy but have heard the loops in garage band are great and “free” is there a legal way to get these loops even if I’m not on a Mac?
Old dog learning new tricks
Robb, if you’re on Pro Tools you should have access to all the Big Fish Loops that come as part of your purchase. Those give you a ton of material to work with. The garageband loops only work in garageband or Logic unfortunately.
This does make life easier!! I did this today!
and added it to my new template!!
One Sub for Drums,and one for Acoustic Guitars,then one for my E Guitars!
Two Subs for keyboards(Piano and Arpegiators !!)
Makes Life easier really!!
Hi Graham!
I have a question that I couldn’t find a good answer on internet. So I know you gonna help me. How do you deal with this?
Imagine we have 3 different instruments in different groups going to different Busses. Lets say snare, a guitar and a piano. We put a send to them to a same Fx that is in an Aux. And This Aux goes to the master buss. Everything work perfect until I move the volume of the Busses. When I move them, the volumes of the instruments go with it but the volume of the FX of these instruments keep in the same level so my mix mess up. So now I choose to leave the busses always in “0” and move the volume of the instruments in “groups”. Because I prefer that than to create 3 same Aux with the same Fx going to the Sub-busses. I need to save Ram memory, you know. I use many intruments going to the same Fx, like Altiverb Rooms to make them sound they where recorded in the same room (I use many virtual instruments). So what do you recommend me to do?
Sorry for my English. I hope you understood my concern.
Regards and Thanks in advance.
Luis
Check your email on this. I responded there, but the simple answer is to use PRE fader sends.
Hi Graham,
I noticed the new grouped track only has far right and far left pan and no center, how would this affect the kick drum + snare?
The group track is merely a stereo track. It maintains whatever panning is in place on the way in. So kick and snare (if panned center) will stay center. Just like with a master fader.
I just discovered your website through a friend who also is getting into computer-based recording. I’m running PT10 with a Mac. Frankly, I’m extremely overwhelmed by the complexity of the program in conjunction with the board I’m using (Tascam DM 4800). It looks as if from what I’ve seen so far, what you’re doing is going to be a great resource in trying to record/mix my first track after having this equipment for 6 months. Thanks so much for putting all this info on-line. Maybe I won’t give up after all. 🙂
