I can't move all faders either up or down.
Is there a way to select all tracks and bring all faders down at the same time? (I need to bring all of them down about 5db)

Thanks
kind regards

ps- I had this issue with previous versions of Sonar but back then we could click the little triangle on the track view and by selecting all tracks we could move them up or down.

Select all tracks (Ctrl-A), right-click on one to group them all.  Bring down the faders.  Right-click again to ungroup.

I just figured this out a week or two ago myself--takes just a few seconds now.

Or get a CS.  

You don't need to group the faders unless you want them to be grouped for future use, but you can just use the Quick Group feature.

Select all tracks and then hold down Ctrl on your PC keyboard. Now adjust one of the Volume parameters on one of the tracks. This will adjust the same parameter on all selected tracks.

This works with other parameters as well.

Scott, beat me to it. Select All+Ctrl is the fastest way to do this. One of my favorite new(-ish) Sonar features. Great for gain-staging any of those errant peaks on the master channel out of existence.

Thanks jerry. That works, but when you do that (when ungrouping) you loose all previous groups you had before.

any other way?

You can go control +A to select all, and then right click on a volume parameter and choose group-new, and group by color and they will stay grouped until you deselect them.

Thanks Scott, that is exactly what I needed...it makes all the sense to be able to do that.

It works also when there are no tracks selected.
You just hold on Ctrl key while adjusting the parameter of one track, a little red square will appear in the corner of the button, and the same parameter of all the tracks will be adjusted.
