# Track Grouping

> Group tracks into sub-mix buses with shared effects, routing, and collapsible organization in the sidebar.

A group track acts as a sub-mix bus. All child tracks route their audio through the group, so you can apply shared effects (e.g. a compressor across all drum tracks), control the group volume and pan as a whole, and use the group's [mix controls](/features/mix) on the summed signal.

Select tracks and press `⌘G` to group them. Press `⌘⇧G` to ungroup.

## Visibility

Group tracks appear in the **sidebar track list** but not on the **timeline**. Only the child tracks show clips on the timeline. Select the group track in the sidebar to access its Inspector and effects chain.

## Nesting

Groups can contain other groups. There is no limit on nesting depth.

## Reordering

Drag tracks in the sidebar to reorder them within or between groups.

## Color Inheritance

When a track has **Use Group Color** enabled in the Inspector, it follows the parent group's color automatically.
