editing drum tracks

so I am attempting to edit drum tracks. I am thankful for any assistance in advance. I am running Vegas 4.0 on XP. I have my grid set to quarter notes and can see the couple of places that need straightening out. What I can't seem to figure out is how to select multiple tracks in a way that I can place splits through all of them simultaneouely. I then need the selected tracks to be locked so that they all move together. I understand how to select multiple tracks, but my split always seems to go only on one track. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks and Praises, FAMILY

Select the tracks/events you want > R-click on the highlighted area > Group > Create new. You may or may not want Ripple turned off depending on the edit circumstances.

What am I doing that is causing the <group> options all to be disabled (greyed)? I tried creating an envelope and also just selecting the tracks and right clicking. I see no group menu after right clicking, only one under the drop down <edit> menu.

Select events you want grouped and hit G. To ungroup selected events hit U.

You are probably selecting the track headers instead of the events themselves. R-click over the highlighted events not the track header. The above keyboard shortcuts will work also.

Be sure the Ignore Groups button is off.

OK, sweet. I figured out how to group selected events. I still am unclear how to input a split that goes through multiple (selected?) tracks. Can anybody help with this? thanks, FAM

curser over and left click on events at the point in time you want to split, then hit S. Be sure only the events you want to split are selected or grouped. If you screw up, use ctrl z and go over the shortcuts in the manual.

Good Luck

You don't split tracks, you split events. Select the events (Ctrl-click each one) and then hit the split key.
