Grouping Tracks

[Astar]

Hello.

I've done some reading up on Grouping tracks in PT. I've read that you can assign a number of tracks to a "group". So I know grouping links these functions: volume level, mute and solo, automation, track display format, track height, editing.
My question is, I heard someone say for vocal harmonies, he usually does some Group Compression; to glue the vocals together.
Can someone please elaborate on this thought? and explain a little about how to do it?

Appreciate it.

Two separate concepts here... Grouping tracks is a great way to edit or automate a set of tracks, like BG vocals or drums for example. To compress your vocal tracks, assign the outputs of all the vocal tracks to a stereo buss, say buss 1/2. Create a stereo AUX track and set its input to that same buss 1/2. On this stereo aux, insert a compressor and adjust to taste. Viola!!!

Ahh... I see the distinction here.
Thanks EGS. You also helped me another issue I had: my mixes were coming out really quiet. Tried what you said, my mixes are a lot louder now. You're my PT Hero
