Hi, can I select multiple tracks in Reason and control the volume on all of them, like linking them? Is there some shortcut? I've tried shift + different options but to no avail.

Hi sure, create bus channel for those you want to merge.

Only option is to select them all in the mixer (make sure they’re all in a row, click the first to select, Shift-click the last in the group and you’ll see all outlined in blue) once selected you can right-click and select “New Output Bus” and from there you’ll be able to control those channels (with relative levels intact) from one single fader.
DAW: Reason 12

SAMPLERS: Akai MPC 2000, E-mu SP1200, E-Mu e5000Ultra, Ensoniq EPS 16+, Akai S950, Maschine

SYNTHS: Mostly classic Polysynths and more modern Monosynths. All are mostly food for my samplers!

Hi thanks,

But is this lowering the level of the summing and not the individual channels? If so, there is no other way to manipulate the level of multiple channels at once?

Oh that’s interesting. Which is a good controller for Reason?

Bussing a group of channels produces exactly the same end result in Reason, working more like a VCA group than a motorized fader group.

Problem is, you don't always want to bus the channels you want to adjust, so while it works much of the time it doesn't work all of the time.
