AFAICT - they both are containers for other tracks.
Is there some difference between them?
Group tracks are a bus that you can route other tracks into to create a sub mix. From there you can do things such as adjust the volume, add inserts, send the signal somewhere else and do automation.
Only the Folder Track is a ‘container’ for other Tracks. It is primarily an organizational structure which also lets you Edit multiple Tracks at once.
A Group Track is a Type of Audio Channel that can act as routing destination for other Audio sources. It is analogous to how physical mixers work.
In some DAWs the organizational structure & audio routing are integrated into a single item. In Cubase the 2 functions are seperated.
Got it. Thanks.
Damn you read that fast. Yes that’s it exactly.
Quick as a bunny.
