Ableton/Live/UG/06 Arrangement View/14 Linked-Track Editing
- Linked-track editing applies comping and other phase-locked edits to several tracks together, for example the microphones on a drum kit. See Ableton/Linked-Track Editing and Ableton/YouTube/21/04/Learn Live Linked-Track Editing.
- Link selected tracks with Link Tracks in a track header's context menu, or link a Group Track's tracks from the group header. Linked tracks show an indicator button in their headers.
- A Set can have several linked groups, but a track belongs to only one. Hover the indicator to highlight a group's tracks; click it to select them.
- To add tracks to a group, select them and
Cmd-click (Mac) / Ctrl-click (Win) Link Tracks in a linked track's header. Any mix of linked and unlinked tracks can be linked into a new group. - Unlink Track(s) in the header's context menu removes tracks from their group.
- These apply to every track in the group at once:
- Moving and resizing clips; selecting clips and time; the "… Time" commands; splitting and consolidating.
- Clip fades, for fades that start at the same position.
- Arming and disarming.
- Renaming, inserting and deleting take lanes, and Audition Mode, even where take lanes are hidden.
