Default Can't select an area in a single track

Hi everyone, I am new to Pro Tools and this is probably a basic question but I've been struggling with this for a while now. I am using the grabber tool and trying to select a region in one track but when I click it, the same area in all other tracks is selected as well. Is there any option I have to turn on/off in order to select only the region in the track I'm interested?

Thank you!

Sounds like you have turn on the All Group. In the Edit window, show the Tracks/Groups list on the left hand side (there is an arrow in the bottom left corner). Make sure the "All" group is NOT highlighted, by clicking on the name. The ! turns on/off this group from the Mix window, or with command focus on groups in the Edit window.

I have the same problem but even when my groups are turned off, I don't understand, can anyone help? I just want to select single tracks and edit them but for some reason all of them become selected.

How about a little more info, like what tool you are using where are you clicking/selecting (on the region or in the timeline)? Are you sure the ALL group or no other Groups are active (it shouldn't be highlighted)?

Angry Re: Can't select an area in a single track

Doesn't matter what tool I use, whether it's the grabber tool or selector, cutter. All of them select all the tracks. My groups are off . It so weird, sometimes just the drums become selected still with no groups selected.

It's really bugging me now...

Hey there, new user here myself looking for the same answer, I stumbled on a way to do it, try this.

Right click on your clip, then click “ungroup” then select, copy and paste. That worked for me!
