Is there an Easier Way - Aux bus for a set of Tracks

[rp88.2]

Is there an easier way to create an Aux bus for a set of Tracks?

Currently, I am working with sets of tracks that are a mixture of audio and plug-in instruments (so I have a MIDI track and instrument track for each plug-in instrument).

What I am currently doing in 'Sequence view':
1. Creating a New stereo bundle, e.g., bus 5-6
2. Creating an AUX track and setting the input to bus 5-6
3. Setting the individual audio tracks output to bus 5-6
4. Tracking down the instruments corresponding to the MIDI tracks and setting their output to bus 5-6.

Is there an easier way?
There are some DAWs that do all the routing, etc. when you select the tracks and right-click to 'group'.

Thanks in advance.

If the tracks you want to assign are grouped, you can assign one of them and the rest will be done at the same time. You can use the track selector to show only the tracks to be assigned, and then use the Temporary Group Visible command to group them. In some situations, the Track Assignments command might be better.

Thank you Bayswater. I was thinking of track groups, but didn't want faders, etc. to be permanent early in the production/arrangement process. Temporary grouping might be the way to go.

You can easily define and change at any time what a group is allowed to affect> Faders only, selections only, every parameter, etc.

The same applies to temporary groups and tracks grouped by t or w.

Option A let’s you assign ins and outs for tracks you have highlighted all at once.

Thank you - that is helpful!

I know this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I feel like it can't be reminded enough. It's a very useful little tip for changing track assigns:

1. Select a MIDI track(s)
2. SHIFT-UP/DOWN ARROW to change output device/VI
3. OPT-UP/DOWN ARROW to change output channel
4. SHIFT-OPT-UP/DOWN ARROW to move selection to next track

Notice that you can select a group of tracks and change the device/VI and it will retain the channel setting. If you change the MIDI channel of multiple tracks it will nudge each channel setting up/down one-at-a-time
