good morning everyone, i can't seem to locate the quick group tabs that are supposed to be on the upper left of the track. 

Im pretty sure its the track numbers that you click to group them in the track view

Yeah I think CJ has it nailed. There are no quick group tabs as such. Quick grouping works on any selected tracks.

Click on the track number to select the track, that will highlight blue once selected.
Hold down ctrl key and change parameter/selection.

If no tracks are selected quick grouping will work on all tracks as if they were all selected.

HTH

thanks fellas, i was watching a video and whatshisname clicked on tabs, it's no big deal, theres always 3 or4 ways to do something anyway
