Hi there.
I know that with instrument tracks I can shift+option+click (on mac) to turn on/off a setting on all selected instruments (like mute, solo etc). However, when I try to do this with a selection of folder tracks, only the one I click on actually gets changed.
Any ideas if this is possible?

Hi,
Do you do that in the Project window or MixConsole, please?
Project window.
Not by my computer, but wouldn’t it be a strange decision to have it work in the MixConsole, but not in the Project Window?
The behaviour is confirmed, a folder selection does definitely not react on the Alt/Opt+Shift Click method.
Hence Folders are not displayed in the MixConsole, you probably mean Group Tracks.
Also - and this could be worthy of its own thread - why are folders excluded from quick controls’ focus?
I would very much like to be able to record enable/disable a different folders by CC (and as such cascading down to the contents of the folders), but this is not possible, as the focus “skips” folders making it impossible.
Only the developers at Steinberg probably know for sure.
But it’s clear that the folder “track,” unlike the group track, isn’t a “real” track with data content, but rather a construct to keep other tracks together and to make them disappear visually when needed, for better overview and organization.
This is also why there are endless discussions and feature requests (like here) going on to merge the functionality of folder and group track into a single track type.
Thanks for the response.
I see that there are quite a number of threads as you mention, but I don’t think that this would solve the issue, as the group track seems to be happening after the fact (that is the audio/midi is recorded, and then sent to the group track) - after which record enabling/disabling would be too late. Hence why the record enable button is grayed out on the group track. “All” I would like is to have the folder track function properly (shift+option+click, be able to focus with quick controls etc).
