Hi All,

What I am trying to figure out is is you can lock 2 or 3 tracks together so if you edit one of the tracks it edits the locked tracks. For example, the bass is recorded on 3 tracks, microphone, DI and a track via analog compression. If I want to edit a bad note I have to keep selecting the 3 tracks, if I could just click on 1 and all 3 are selected and the edit applies the same on all 3 tracks that would be a joy. It also would eliminate mistakes.

Cheers
Alan
 
I think this what Grouping does?. Check it out in the manual;)
 
What jiff says.

Select all three tracks, hit 'G' which will group them. You can then edit all three at once.

I've done this with drum tracks when I have kick, snare, overheads and the rest, and i need to either swap bits around or adjust timing or other stuff.

Ok I’ve grouped but what I was trying to go was cut paste and move by selecting only on track in the group and have it apply to all tracks in the group?
 
rightio . . . I've just gone into Reaper to remind myself what I actually do.

When you use G over a number of tracks, you get to use some functions over the tracks as a group, for example, splitting, stretching, dragging beginnings and ends and so on. To cut and paste areas I need to have selected all tracks required, then Ctrl Left click to drag them to a new place (or Ctrl C and Ctrl V).

If this is a bit too messy, then you select an area of interest, create a region, then put that region wherever you want.
 
That’s what I found, not quite what I wanted but a lot better then the way I had been doing it.

Cheers
Alan
