Chaim, take a look at the graphic in my post above:
http://www.motunation.com/forum/viewtop ... 02#p458102

Look where it says "Send Level." Check that, and send levels will respond to temp groups, W or T. Be sure you're customizing temp groups.

Ok I found it, it's in the mini menu of the Track Groups window.
But again, that goes for ALL visible tracks. Not for a select few that I want right now. It doesn't help if I need to re-configure what is displayed in the mixer every time.

W works for mixer faders, not for send volume knob, and if it would, it would be for all visible mixer tracks which is not what I'm asking for, there has to be a way to temporary "select" all tracks you want to adjust their send level. Toontracks' Superior Drummer, has this feature for the faders, you can drag along the bottom some place that highlights those tracks, then you can adjust all those faders. This would be great even for dp's mixer, besides the W feature.

And what do you mean by shift selecting please?
W does work for send volume and pan (see Shoosie's post to get settings correct). Regarding shift-select: hold down the shift key while you select multiple send knobs (don't drag, but click on each one). A green rectangle will appear around each selected knob. This works for faders and pans as well. I think this is similar to what you're doing in Superior Drummer.
BTW, there's a little display bug when you have more than one send per channel. The rectangle appears on all send knobs for that channel, but it works correctly otherwise (actually selecting only the knob you clicked on). It seems to be only a bug in the display. Don't know if that's fixed in ver.8 or not.

Thanks! Yep works, but is a bit buggy here, {edit yep as above} nope not fixed in 8.0.3.

This feature is better than nothing and would even be great if it works with the mixer faders, but can be improved more to how Superior works, where you SHOULD be able to drag select, then dp should outline [for example] the sends then you can keep on adjusting with many clicks on the sends till you click "out" and de-select them, where now, you only have one click.

• DP should be "hide-able" while bouncing to disk.

I think click+hold the DP dock icon lets you do this...

I can send it to the back but can't hide it totally, completely like any other app when you option click out of it. Again, I'm talking about hiding it completely "during a bounce to disk".

Doesn't work here since the beginning days of dp8.

What about Command + H? Doesn't that hide any foreground app?

Oh right. My bad. JS is right but if that doesn't work cmd-tab to another app and use the menu to hide others. It works here.

Right... I was thinking maybe the Bounce Progress dialog might prevent Command + H but it shouldn't because it's a MacOS function. This should be doable. If I'm feeling saucy I'll test it right now.
