25.6 Groups
Menu
Right-clicking in the Groups window will open the Groups Menu. This menu contains controls for
group creation and management.
Whenever a group is created, deleted, edited, or coalesced, a new mix is added to the Mix Tree.
This mix is automatically sent to the ACM for immediate use.
Important Note: When a mix is created by creating, deleting, editing, or coalescing a group
the mix is automatically sent to the Automation Control Module (ACM) and
becomes the active mix. This will replace the current mix in the ACM. If the
mix in the ACM has not been saved to the PC, it could accidentally be
deleted when a group is altered.
