Interesting work flow you have though, I had no idea people were using the mix console to that degree. For large projects, it would be interesting to watch how you quickly locate a group track when everything isn’t all neatly grouped together in folders in the project window
That’s what it made for…
all my Groups have the same colour so I can find them easily in the mix console…
another possibility would be to use a second mix console window with just groups and FX
