Say you are recording drums and you've got 12 tracks going. Say you've recorded 4 takes, grouping each takes' set of 12 tracks as you go along. Audition "stacks" these takes on each channel, numbering them 001 through 004 (or something like that). Now comes time to listen back. You need to "bring to front" each takes' set of tracks to listen to them (yes, i know you could move the tracks to separate channels in Audition, muting the all but the ones you want to listen to). Is there any way to "bring to front" all the tacks of a given group at one time (that is, with one command sequence; control-click-bring-to-front perhaps; instead of having to individually bring to front each track of a given group- in the above example, repeating the same "bring to front" operation 12 times for each group).

on a related issue- are there any "grouping" tricks? For example, is there any way to assign membership to a group without having to click on each track to be included (ie, if all the tracks of the desired group are contiguous, can you do something like hold-down-shift-and-drag)? is there any way to do something like mute all the tracks in a group at once (as opposed to muting each separately)?

Hi Wildplum,
I'n not sure about the stacking tricks you're enquiring about, but the muting of a group is pretty straight forward.
If you've selected a bunch of takes (which you can do by first left clicking on one clip, and then ctrl+left clicking on the others to be included in the group), and then right click on any one of the clips selected, from the pop up menu select "group clips". The clips will get grouped together and their colour will change (to indicate that they form a group). Now, you can right click again on any of the clips in the group, and select "mute", and the whole group will be muted.
And when you're ready, you can assign that function to a keyboard shortcut (I have it assigned to "m"), and then all you have to do is hit the key on your keyboard to mute either a single clip, or a group of clips.
You also asked about assigning clips to a group without having to manually select them all.
Just for learning purposes, spread a handful of clips across several tracks.
Now, left click on one clip, keep your mouse button depressed, and drag both horizontally and vertically (across tracks) to "rubber band" all the clips you want to select. Any clips that the "rubber band" touches will be selected and can therefore be grouped.
Hope this helps.
