Other than selecting a bunch of soundbites, so they all can be manipulated at the same time by an action, I don't think you can group them like you want.

What is it you're trying to do? Tell us. Perhaps there's another way to achieve you desired result?

I have 88 tracks in my session
it is not easy to select a particular bar of the whole tracks to move from one place to another in each time.
once we group it ...it is easy to select by clicking on a single sound bite.
and we can make group with an odd number selection like 1,4,7,9,(tracks) and make a group.
I think sound bite grouping is useful to all
thank you

What I would do (and this may not work for you) is place the soundbites I want to group into an individual track, or multiple tracks if they overlap. If multiple tracks, I'd create a track folder for just those tracks. It would be relatively easy to move everything at once (assuming that is your desired process). If we knew more about the specifics of the project at hand, there might be alternative options, but on the surface, I don't see a better way.

I see. But no, I don't think it's possible to group SBs with DP.
I had never seen such a request. I wonder if other DAWs do this? I doubt it.

But selecting full measures, or even parts of measures for all or more soundbites is very easy in the TO window (or all windows, for that matter).
I don't know how proficient you are with DP... You can easily accomplish the same thing (selecting a bunch of regions to move around) by dragging at the top of the TO or using F5 and f6 to set your selection time-range. Then, you just select TRACKS (instead of soundbites), which will turn select the SBs within your set range. Once selected, grab one and all will move where you please.
Selecting tracks is much easier than selecting soundbites anyway (using shortcuts).

Also, like MLC mentioned, using (nested) folders is useful for manipulating and organizing groups of tracks.

The quality of our help will be proportional to how much detail you give us about your issue/intentions.

Selecting SB with different start and end point is not practical in your suggestion.
this feature is already there in Cubase, studio one and samplitude.

Im migrated from Emagic Logic then Magix Samplitude and now here in DP"s world.
Samplitude"s Object oriented FX and editing was a great experience (sound bite Oriented FX and Aux send ) :D

but I love DP :love:

thank you
