Well, now, what if we had the option to show sources of Group, FX, and VCA tracks in their respective inspector?

Moreover, what if we could:

  • select those tracks (and scroll to view while the group tracks inspector still stays open)
  • re-route existing tracks into the group (add them)
  • re-route existing tracks out of the group (remove them)

Channel Settings window can do this for one source at a time, and for VCA tracks it’s not possible. They (VCA) are not represented properly at the moment in Channel Settings window graphically, and besides that, even though the faders are connected, they see no sources.
