Pro Tools Answers #61 | Mix Group Tips and Tricks

In this re-jigged version of Episode 61, the PTA deal with a question about linking Sends and expand on using groups to link other attributes.
For those who watched the original Episode 61 - we mistakenly announced that Pro Tools Standard didn't allow the linking of groups, so we looked at an alternative workflow using Master Faders. This was obviously a mistake, caused by a belief within the team that standard versions of the app didn't allow linking of sends. This was true in older versions of the app but, as Ultimate users, we weren't able to verify and we ran with it and ultimately were found to be mistaken. Thanks to Cary for questioning it in the comments and prompting us to look again.
Our channel is dedicated to accuracy so we've pulled the episode down and re-released it with the discussion we should have had the first time round! Hopefully you're still with us!!
