Here are some examples of ways I use groups: 1. Toms are loud enough in comparison with each other but all of them need to be louder against the rest of the kit: Solution: Raise the dB level of the tom group as a whole.. 2. I want to make a "mute group" (ie closed hats make open hats stop). Solution: Assign hats to the same group and tell the group that it is only allowed one voice at a time. Basically, any time you want to edit parameters of a number of sounds together - (sort of batch processing !!!) put them in a group.
