Is it possible to quickly group channel strips in the console view?
 
I've moved from Sonar 6.5 to Artist and it's one of the features I miss the most. There was a small button under the volume sliders in 6.5 allowing to group volume/pan and whatnot on the fly. It's gone now and I cannot figure out how to do it.

In Console view you can use keyboard Ctrl-A (select all tracks) or hold down Ctrl key and select individual track numbers  . . . then while holding down the Ctrl key you can drag and adjust volume sliders, pans etc . . . for all those tracks selected. In Sonar this is called Quick Grouping . . . check out the Sonar Manual for "Quick Grouping" for more details.

Brilliant. Thank you very much.

You can use click, then shift+click to select a range too, similar to Windows Explorer or Word. 
And you can click drag across the track names. You do need to hold CTRL when changing your parameter though!
