Hiding Tracks from a Mix Group in One Command?

[j20056]

Is there an quick way to hide all the tracks belonging to a given mix group? I have a drum group with 16 tracks, and there seems to be no easy way except for hiding them one by one in the Tracks list. I displayed the tracks list sorted by mix groups so at least they're contiguous, but is there a faster way?

Right-click on the group (in the group window area) and you'll see "hide tracks in group" and "show only tracks in group"

Does this work on your machine? On mine, right clicking only displays the tracks of the selected group. The choice you mention above is not available.
I assume you right click with Control+Click? I am on Mac as this is a Mac forum.

Ctrl click is the same as right click...Some just say right click... Make sure all the tracks u want to hide are highlighted(the name tab)

Got it to work. To be precise, it's *not* right click, which is Ctrl-Click, but instead Function-Click, whatever that represents. Thanks

As long as u got it thatz what counts; just throwing this in, but u could also create markers/selection (it would actually be none)that show/hide certain tracks u want...

Right click is right click. Control+Click is Apple's way of dealing with refusing to use a two button mouse for so long -- but even they have moved on (other than the laptops.) Digidesign's documentation refers to right click as the means to the menu option. This is modern convention.

History of right click "menus" with Apple was that programmers were not supposed to use them as part of the documented Apple-style. Ctrl+clicks were only for single operation tasks (no menu pull up.) This was part of Apple's one-button simplicity. They have since adapted to the rest of the world.

I don't know why function+click is pulling up the menu on your system. It should still be a right click (which is ctrl+click.) Something must be wrong with your system. I would see if function+click is performing all the right click (ctrl+click) tasks because your keyboard may be mapped wrong.
