Hi my friend, found this on the web.
"Cakewalk's SONAR 5 has a neat trick called Quick Groups for controlling volume and panning settings for multiple tracks by moving just one control. While the same results could be achieved with automation envelopes, the advantage of using Quick Groups is that there's no need to set up envelopes or nodes.
Quick Groups make it possible to bring groups of audio or MIDI tracks in and out on the fly, or create spontaneous panning sweeps. Quick Groups are a useful tool for live music, presentations, radio or theatrical performances, in order to initiate the playback of prerecorded sounds at certain moments. These could range from multiple tracks containing laughter or applause to sound effects at the whim of the user.
Or, Quick Groups could also be used as a fast way to test a proposed mix automation idea. For instance, someone may suggest that a song's drum part be introduced gradually, instead of starting right at the beginning. This may be a good idea, or it may not. It could be auditioned by muting the drums tracks at the beginning and then unmuting them. But since a typical multitrack drum part consists of eight tracks, clicking all the mute buttons would be awkward and the tracks wouldn't come in simultaneously. The same with attempting to raise all the virtual faders at once. Without real faders on a mixing board (or a control surface), the only other ways to hear the results involve setting up a volume envelope on each track or assigning all the drum tracks to a bus, either of which would take several minutes." 



Hope this answer your question.

Thank you for confirming that there is something in caketalking that is called "quick group." Now, can anyone tell me what that means ? I searched for it in the manual and found nothing about it. I still don't know how that attribute got assigned to one of my tracks or how to get rid of it. Any help is appreciated.

the second word in the phrase is "group" instead of "proof." I still can't get what the word before it is. It sounds like "quit" or "quick." Using the Jaws cursor, I navigated around the screen hoping to find the text but found nothing. Is there something in CakeTalking like "quit group?" Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
