Hello all, does anyone know if there is a shortcut from my PC keyboard where I can move all faders at the same time on the Cubase 6 main mixer? Rather than going along attenuating sliders individually, it would be great to be able to move the lot in one go when I need to drop/move all faders by the same amount whilst watching the peak level at the master out.

Cheers.

What's wrong with the master out slider?

I'd rather keep the master out level at 0db as much as poss and attenuate sub channel sliders myself.

Yes, i can't see anything in the shortcut list in Cubase 6, just wondered if i'd missed something, it would be handy to have this.

Yep, already know about linking/grouping channels, just wondered if it was possible to perform my original question as a quick edit from a keyboard shortcut.

select all, I think it's CTRL drag.

Interesting. What is it you have to drag?

Tracks in the mixer?

Nope, can't get that to work, all that does is resets the fader to 0db on one channel.

Just in Cubase 6 now having another look.

drag the fader handle .. can't remember the which combo of accelerator keys to use. I don't do this particular option. But, I know there is a combo of CTRL, ALT, SHIFT that will allow all selected track fader to move if you drag any one. I just can't remember what it is. Even after your explanation, I can't fathom why you would want to do it. But, to each his own.

Page 167 on the manual, "Link/Unlink Channels".

I guess the shortest way to do this would be to assign a keyboard shortcut to "Link Channels" to be applied after shift-clicking on the first and last tracks in the mixer.

Well it looks that this is the most we can expect here, thanks for the interest on this one.

Basically, every now and then, i want to change 2 or 3 fader levels equally and precisely with each other, and rather than drag each one independently, or set up a group channel etc, it would be nice as an ultra quick edit, to be able to click on the faders you want to move together via holding down a shortcut key on the keyboard. It's a little akin to holding the Ctrl key down and clicking and selecting more than one photo or file that you want to delete or move or copy etc in a folder on your pc.

Just create a keyboard shortcut for 'link' and 'unlink' channels.
