[Solved] Bus Prochannel Compressors switched on by themselves

 
I figure that was it.
 
here is a small list about quick group rules:
Quick Groups only affect tracks of the same type (Audio or MIDI).           
For instrument tracks, the relevant controls is treated as belonging to an Audio or MIDI track.              
Quick Groups do not work between tracks and buses.              
Quick Groups apply a relative adjustment to each control.              
If you adjust a control in a selected track, only selected tracks of the same type are affected.             
If you adjust a control in a non-selected track, all tracks are affected.
 
I look at "grouping" as 3 different modes (even though they are only 2 = Quick + Control groups)
 
drag and select multiple tracks- (Example: drag and select the guitars on tracks 5 thru 9)
so you drag the mouse in console view or track view to highlight all these tracks...
now hold CNTRL and move a pan knob. you'll see tracks 5 thru 9 pan knobs move all at once.
 
Select none-don't select anything. hold CNTRL and move a fader, knob, button.
they all move. this is good for lowering every fader in a project that is running too hot.
 
Control groups- These are the groups that use colors. I still use control groups often because of their depth.
one can set them up in 3 ways. relative, absolute or custom.
these are useful if you want one control(guitar fader) to trigger another control (a different guitar fader)
so raising one fader will intern lower the other fader.
 
Anyway, Glad it's sorted and happy 4th weekend.
