Want to adjust the PC of two tracks at the same time. Not working.

If I intend to use the same FX on more than one track I will out them to a buss. The buss is where I do any FX changes. This includes PC modules too. 

Beep, it works here but you have to use the ctrl key to a) select the tracks and b) keep it pressed while you adjust your parameters

I'm finding it hard to believe that with all the power and linky groupy functions in this program I can't do this. I could just save the PC as a preset but then I can't sculpt it while listening to it.

I seem to be having more luck now holding the control key and making things work across the tracks but I'm doing a LOT of stuff here including inserting modules, moving them around, tweaking compressors, etc... If I stop pressing that Ctrl key for a second it all goes out of whack and I have to start over. 

Sooo... this really is the only way to do it?

*sigh*

Okay... I guess I'll make sure to add that to proper procedural habits. I was just hoping the linking/grouping stuff would do this. Frankly whenever I've tried those things it fell short of what would be useful to me. Doesn't make sense.

Cheers.

Did you try right-clicking each of the knobs and use the group option, instead of quick grouping? I bet these groups persist in a project template.

I'm quick grouping then holding Ctrl while making my adjustments. It kind of works at first but then they end up totally different after a very short while. I know there is a way to do this but with all the linking, grouping, etch options I don't know how to just make these parameters effect two tracks at the same time. As I was going through those tuts I could not make the PCs of two tracks link up how I want.

There has to be an easy way to do this without having to hold Ctrl (which isn't working anyway). How do you guys do this? 

Please help. I'm starting to go a little crazy today with this stuff. Cheers.

Hi Beep,


I just tried this out again, I use it from time to time. I do this in console view and simply select the tracks and hold the cntrl key while I make changes to the eq to a single track. If one of the tracks already has an eq plot that is different than the others. Then the changes will be relative.


I didn't keep trying a ton of changes though to see if they slide or act quirky over time. But it does work for what I need. FWIW: I usually use this type of editing when working with the console module or the eq / highpass.




Best,
MR

I've noticed that holding the CTRL key with quickgroups only seems to work when you make the adjustments from the left-most track grouped. At least for me. I just do that all the time anyway.

I do not know often the subject comes up. This is the first thread that I recall where someone wanted to link everything together.
