Hi Warren,

You're on the right lines with the merge idea.

I often have several batches of backing vocals sub-grouped, but on occasion I sub-mix them
just to keep the screen tidy. I simply get the mix right between the BVs, then solo those tracks
and merge to a stereo wav file. Once I've imported that back into the mix I can delete the
original tracks and save the SEQ as an incremental file number, so I can always roll back if
necessary. Then, of course, I can use automation on the sub-mix if needed.

ROG.
