Hello,
 
Is there a way to raise or lower all the faders at once so they all move to the exact same amount up or down?
 
Thank you,
 

You can add them all to a Control Group. However if you mean ALL faders why not just use a bus instead? Actually even if you only want to adjust levels on a group of tracks sending them to a buss is usually a better way to go. Adjust the track levels so they sound how you like then just control the overall output from the buss.

Oh and if you only want to do this adjustment one time quick group the tracks by clicking on the number of the first track (at the bottom of the console strip) then drag the cursor across the rest of the track numbers. They should all turn blue. Now hold Ctrl and adjust one of the faders.
 
There are other ways to create groups like this. Look up Quick Groups or Selecting Tracks in the manual.
 

Awesome!
 
thank you!!!!

Glad to help.

Yep...I use busses in that way all the time.  It's really helpful when I have the track levels where I want them but the mix, or a part of the mix is simply too loud. Rather than trying to bump the one track up (which would put it into the area of clipping) I simply add the other tracks to a bus and then pull the bus fader down as many DB as I need to let the acoustic or mandolin shine without clipping.
 
I use the GROUP function on faders, but generally only the 2 master faders to the sound card output. That way I can easily control the volume in the studio with ease.

I often need to move all the faders except the lead vocal(s) up or down to suit the singer.  A shortcut would be nice.  What I have been doing is turning Read off globally and then just yanking them all down.  Real pain.

Yeah, if you are relatively new to audio production it is very much worthwhile to learn about using busses to achieve different things. Mixing like this is one of the more obvious and basic uses but they are incredibly useful and even crucial to getting things done. For example if you want to apply reverb to your mix you don't necessarily want to use a different reverb on every track. You would create a buss, put the reverb on the buss then use sends or the main output on the tracks to point toward that buss. Now the reverb is applied evenly and any changes you make to the reverb settings will affect all the tracks. If you use sends then you can mix in how much reverb each track gets. EQ, delay and compression are other effects commonly used on busses.
 
As far as quick grouping in SOnar it is a super easy way to make any kind of change to multiple tracks at once like outputs, gain, pan, solo, mute, record, etc... so it is another very important thing to learn to save yourself time and hassle. Cheers.

You can just hit Ctrl + A to select all the tracks then (or click select the first track, hold Shift then select the last track), Ctrl click to deselect the vocal track (all the other tracks will remain selected) then hold Ctrl while you turn down one of the faders.
 
If you are doing this constantly (I'm assuming this is while tracking a vocalist) you could create a control group with all the faders except the vocal fader.
 
A headphone bus or if your interface has some kind of headphone mix set up would probably be worth looking at. My Scarlett's software allows for multiple headphone mixes.

If you adjust the fader of an unselected track whilst holding Ctrl, all the faders will move relative to each other.
