Love the new Group Folders. Would be cool to have in the “Add Track” context menu now also “Group Folder Track to Selected Tracks” (vs only FX and Group options). Would help organizing old projects.
Excellent request…
Yes that would be nice, but be careful converting all of your old projects. The group folders in my opinion are not up to par yet. For instance solo defeat a track in a group folder does not work properly. You cannot even solo defeat the group folder itself. There may be other flaws I don’t know of, but I ran into some issues after converting a couple projects I was working on to utilize the group folder tracks.
Also soloing a group folder does not automatically solo connected send FX tracks for tracks within that group folder. I hope Steinberg is working on addressing this for the next point release. A workaround I have found is to solo defeat my send effect tracks. Not an ideal solution because anytime I need to solo a send I must first turn off solo defeat.
Thanks for that tip, I hadn’t realized that yet.
Interesting to know! I so far didn’t have issues - but don’t use solo defeat, e.g., a lot. Find it kinda relaxing to convert old projects when inspiration does not hit.
Think the feature would btw also be helpful or new projects.. and it’s quite an obvious one.. So Steinberg - PLEASE!
